- Santa Claus and his reindeer helpers;
- snowflakes - even a novice master can draw such simple drawings;
- Christmas trees;
- snowmen and other holiday-appropriate designs.
To support the theme of the New Year's celebration, you can complement your manicure for the New Year 2022 with small penguin figurines, watches or Christmas tree balls of bright colors. On short nails, such designs will look very stylish on a festive night.
French
For those who want to get a manicure while following what the monkey wants, we can recommend a New Year's French manicure.
In its classic version, this manicure usually uses light and pastel shades. It looks strict and stylish at the same time. But it can sparkle with completely different colors if you change the basic colors and make it bright and catchy.
For this type of decor you will need 3 varnishes of different colors: with a golden tint, bright red and transparent to secure the result, and you must also have self-adhesive strips from the French manicure kit. Execution instructions are presented below.
- Stage 1. You need to apply two layers of red varnish to the nail surface one by one and wait until it dries. This will take about 10 minutes;
- Stage 2. A self-adhesive strip is glued to each nail of the length that will be painted over with a different color;
- Stage 3. Now the free space of the nail must be covered with golden varnish, also in two layers, and wait for it to dry.
After everything is completely dry, you need to remove the strips and apply a colorless varnish to your nails in order to consolidate the result. A bright and fashionable “french” is ready!
New manicure ideas for the new year
What not to decorate nails for the New Year! Thematic designs such as Christmas trees, snowmen and snowflakes, abundantly studded with sparkles and rhinestones, sparkle brighter than a festive tree.
Glasses of champagne
New this year is a manicure with a voluminous pattern in the shape of a glass of champagne. Looks great on black or dark long nails covered with a matte topcoat.
The glass is painted with a thin brush and filled with a base mixed with gold or silver glitter. The design can be combined with various rubs, yuca flakes or glitter gel polish.

Other holiday design options
cat's eye
With the help of magnetic gel polishes, an interesting pattern is obtained that resembles a chrysoberyl stone. What’s interesting is that this manicure does not require additional decorations, since even when done alone, it looks incomparable.
Magnetic cat eye varnish can create various effects: scattering, collecting in stripes, straight, inclined, gathered towards the edge and other options.
With rhinestones
Rhinestones will help give your nails an elegant look, and they can be of any size. But when designing, you should know when to stop.
With glitter
Large multi-colored sparkles in combination with small rhinestones will complement the New Year's design. You can combine with them a manicure made using any technique: ombre, stamping, gel web and others.
Rhinestones are used to create any design that can be given a 3D effect using clear varnish.
Winter trends
Before choosing New Year's manicure ideas, let's look at the trends. Of course, all kinds of winter motifs are classics, but what fundamentally new does the fall-winter season 2020-2021 bring us?
- Deep rich shades - wine tones, bottle glass, deep purple, rich blue.
- Black shades with a play on the difference in textures.
- Velvet in all its manifestations.
- Knitted texture - both barely noticeable and with voluminous braids and modeling.
- Single color glossy finishes.
- Luxury can be gilding, metallic foil, or even gold leaf.
- A combination of different textures - for example, gloss, matte top and sand.
Plain coatings
New Year's manicure may well be monochromatic, especially if it is: a single-color glossy finish; fashionable color is used; nails have a classic shape (no stilettos).
For a monochromatic coating, use classic solutions - deep red, pure blue, boiling white. You shouldn't do a manicure that matches the color of your dress,
This has long been considered bad form, but emphasizing some accessory would be a good decision - for example, the color of precious stones in an evening set may have color support in the form of a manicure of a similar color.
Beautiful ideas for New Year's manicure designs
Scandinavian patterns
Very often, when creating New Year's nail designs, Scandinavian patterns are used, which can be very diverse - from snowflakes to all kinds of animals, beautiful trees, Christmas tree decorations.
New Year's stripes
New Year's stripes applied to the nail plate look very stylish and at the same time elegant. Therefore, they are a very interesting trend in New Year’s nail design.
Strips made of foil, rhinestones, kamifubuki, glitter - and this is not the whole list of original ideas for creating a stylish manicure.
Santa Claus drawing on nails
The image of Santa Claus is perfect for a New Year's manicure. So that he doesn’t get bored alone, on the neighboring nails they depict figures of funny snowmen, bullfinches, bear cubs and other cute animals.
Even fans of a laconic manicure, deciding to portray Santa Claus, will incredibly lift their spirits and give their manicure a special piquancy and festivity.
New Year is a time of sparkle, brightness, tinsel. Therefore, the New Year's manicure must be decorated with shiny rhinestones, sparkles, snowflakes; surrounded by them, the main character of the New Year's celebration will be simply irresistible.
Deer on nails
The inseparable friend of Santa Claus, the Scandinavian deer, is increasingly present on the nails of fashionistas in winter manicure. A strong and noble animal is depicted in the form of a funny muzzle of a deer from a cartoon, the whole figure is drawn.
The composition, located on several nails, of reindeer harnessed to a cart, looks especially impressive. On a black glossy base, such a picture in blue, white and brown tones looks simply luxurious. You can decorate your manicure with rhinestones and crystals.
New Year's drawings
Thematic designs will never go out of style. They add playfulness, festivity, and complement the image. Master artists are highly valued in the world of nail art. Of course, you can get by with stickers or stencils, but this all loses to real art. You can depict a lot on your nails: from toys and cartoons to real landscapes.
It is important to understand that artistic design is very demanding in terms of length. Since we are talking about New Year's manicure on short nails, we need to focus on the following:
- Length of the nail bed. The shorter the nail plate, the more laconic the design should be. It’s better to depict a toy, a snowflake, a Christmas tree or a cartoon face than to try to paint a winter night in a limited space. A heavy pattern with fine detailing on a small nail will merge into one incomprehensible spot. While one artistic element will not affect the overall direction of the idea.
- Main color of gel polish. He can be anything. It is only important that the drawing does not get lost against the general background, but “plays” beautifully, setting the tone for the entire image.
- Use of auxiliary decor (rhinestones, stones, etc.). It is rare that a design requires additional decoration. Of course, a small rhinestone in the center of a snowflake or star will perfectly complement the idea, but an overload of stones will make it look “expensive-boho” and will hopelessly ruin it.
Christmas trees
Like snowflakes, silhouettes and branches of Christmas trees are a classic subject for creating a New Year's mood. Christmas trees can be carefully drawn with a thin brush, glued or transferred to the nail using stamping.
Don't forget to decorate your Christmas trees with toys in the form of rhinestones or bouillons.
A strict matte blue polish goes well with rhinestones and a simple herringbone pattern painted on a white background; learn how to pull off this manicure in the video below.
A manicure technique using adhesive tape and a little glitter polish will help turn a basic white manicure into a New Year's manicure:
- Unstick the adhesive tape as shown in the picture and apply a second coat of varnish.
- remove the tape and use a clear coat
- Decorate the Christmas tree with a star or rhinestone.
New Year's glow
Glitter is one of the options for decorating the coating. They can be completely independent, or in addition to the main design line. Sequins go perfectly with any style. They add a special charm to New Year's design. But again, you should not abuse them, so as not to turn into a “magpie”.
Sequins can be plain, colored, or with a holographic effect. A delicate scattering will perfectly decorate dark gel polish and add airiness to the coating.
Blue New Year's manicure
You can add brightness to your image with a New Year's blue manicure. This color of varnish will look wonderful paired with rubbing, rhinestones, matte top and, of course, glitter.
Beige New Year's manicure
Beige New Year's manicure for short nails, like white, is incredibly versatile. In addition, it looks very noble, especially when paired with a matte top. Another advantage of a beige coating is that it can visually lengthen a short nail plate.
New Year's kamifubuki
New Year's confetti always looks fun and funny. And not only on the Christmas tree on New Year's Eve, but also in the design of nails in the form of kamifubuki. Iridescent red confetti applied to the transparent background of one of the fingers or to all nails at once will be very interesting.
You can also make a fun snowy manicure using kamifubuki in silver shades of different sizes and white polish. Due to this, an imitation of snow is created on the nail plate.
Plain
A very good choice. A monochromatic coating in any situation, perfect for New Year's Eve and for everyday work. A universal nail polish color, such as nude, allows you to create any look and goes with any style.
The monochromatic coating is loved by absolutely all fingers: both thin and plump. On the latter, an oval in delicate tones, which can have a pearl or shimmer base, looks especially advantageous.
Ombre
The second name for fashionable decor is gradient. The design combines shades in a smooth transition from one color to another. For New Year's decoration, a color gradient in combination with a gold-colored gel web is suitable. This design looks stylish and elegant.
With foil
Bright and rich shades of foil look very beautiful under a matte top or stained glass varnish. They draw attention to themselves and completely complement the image of a coquette or a sexy seductress.
Knitted design
In winter, knitted designs gain popularity and are associated with a cozy sweater that keeps you warm in cold weather. This decor looks perfect on long and short nails in soft purple, cream, peach, blue and other shades.
In addition, the design can be decorated with New Year themed designs in the form of snowmen, deer, and Christmas trees.
Blue and cyan
Classic winter colors are blue and light blue. Which can also be perfectly combined with main colors.
French
This New Year's season, French manicure should also shine and shine. Therefore, the jacket needs to be decorated with foil, sparkles and rhinestones.
A white jacket with prints of silver, gold or red foil looks very stylish and festive.
Gold, silver, black, blue and red jackets in a shiny design, or with the addition of sparkles and rhinestones, will look beautiful and stylish.
The classic white delicate jacket looks gentle and fashionable in combination with sparkles and snowflakes.

What tiger can resist the metallic shine of the rub on his nails? This New Year's season, the shine of the rub will come in handy.
You can decorate all your nails with the rub, or you can apply it only to a couple of fingers and combine it with some shiny jewelry.
Minimalism
This festive New Year's season, the minimalist design will fit perfectly into any color New Year's outfit.
Pastel colors with small accents in the form of a snowflake pattern, a few neat rhinestones or a drop of sparkles will look very stylish and easy.
Snowflakes and winter patterns
New Year's nail art is almost complete without the use of winter patterns and carved snowflakes. It is important to use such a winter theme for a discreet manicure.
It is enough to draw a few delicate snowflakes on the selected nails and you will get an unobtrusive manicure in the New Year and winter theme.
Manicure option with snowflakes
Winter patterns in the form of monograms are the most popular to use for New Year's manicure, as they look very stylish and feminine.
Color solutions for such art can be different, but the trend is dark shades of the background and white drawings of snowflakes or winter patterns. In addition, decor is used: sparkles, rhinestones, foil, etc.
Winter landscapes
Drawing all the subtleties of winter landscapes takes a long time and not all masters can do it. In this case, nail art is done in different ways: they paint the nails with acrylic paints or gel polish, do airbrushing or simply use stickers.
White New Year's manicure
White color never goes out of fashion and goes well in manicure with various designs and other colors.
To create a manicure in the appropriate theme, simply apply white polish to your nails and highlight a couple of nails with shiny designs, for example, snowflakes or Christmas balls. If this proposal seems too simple to you, then you can decorate one of the fingers with a voluminous composition of beads or rhinestones in the form of a ball or bow, and use small sparkles to cover the adjacent plate.
Drawings in the form of cows, fir branches, snowmen and Santa Claus hats look very impressive on a snow-white background.
Pink manicure with glitter
Pink color is still considered the most favorite shade of many women, so it is often chosen as the main color for creating a manicure.
To make a pink manicure more festive, you can use pink glitter. In 2022, it will be popular to apply glitter exclusively to one or two nail plates on each hand.
Black manicure with glitter
In 2022, it will be fashionable again to create an elegant look from clothes in black shades, so as a complement to such a look, it is worth doing a manicure based on black varnish with the addition of glitter.
Sparkles make the classic black color more interesting, so the manicure immediately becomes incredibly festive. A black manicure with glitter is definitely worth considering for New Year 2022.

Golden New Year manicure
Cartoon New Year's manicure
New Year's holidays are associated with fun, jokes, and laughter. During the long New Year holidays, no one is afraid of a strict office dress code. Therefore, women want something unusual that cannot be depicted on their nails during working hours.
A bold design idea: a cartoon manicure attracts many ladies with the cute faces of familiar characters and bright colors on the nails.
The most popular images were the mischievous Mickey Mouse, the dogs from the “naughty family,” and the gnomes. Recently, the omnipotent hero of the Eastern fairy tale, Jin, has become more often depicted. It is characteristic that his bluish complexion fits perfectly into a winter manicure.
The nail, saturated with the image of Genie, looks great in the delicate environment of snow-white nails decorated with rhinestones or glitter.
Asterisks
Another design that will appeal to lovers of universal manicure is images of stars. For a festive look, you can use glitter against a rich background.
Stickers with stars look impressive against a rich background: blue, black, burgundy, etc. To make decoration easier, you don’t have to draw “celestial bodies”, but use star-shaped sparkles.
Men's manicure
This manicure is most often performed by a professional master. The point is not that men don’t like and don’t know how to take care of their nails, but that men’s manicure is associated with a number of nuances and difficulties. However, well-groomed fingernails are as important an element of appearance for a man as they are for a woman. The ability to perform a good men's manicure confirms the high level of professionalism of the master.
Men's manicure is the most difficult because the master works with nails and skin, which are rarely cared for (at least, this is the case with most clients). Therefore, a manicure for men, when performed step by step, begins with softening the skin of the hands and cuticles. This can be done using heated lotion, as this method is the most effective.
After this, the master moves back and trims the cuticle. It is worth mentioning that men's manicures are almost always trimmed, since the cuticle is quite rigid and does not move well. Then the nails are filed and polished; often a men's manicure involves covering with a transparent matte varnish. A high-quality manicure can say a lot about its owner. The class of businessmen and specialists in other executive professions should carefully monitor their nails.

Beautiful New Year's decor
You can simply find pictures in the store and create a New Year's manicure. The decor usually includes New Year's designs on nails in the form of pictures.
Stamping
Stamping has replaced pictures, replacing them in the “quick and effective patterns” category in just a couple of minutes. It requires 2 important elements and gel polish.
The varnish is applied to a polymer stamping plate, and then, using a stamp, is transferred to a nail that has already been prepared and coated with a base varnish. The color of the pattern will depend on the chosen varnish. If you are not satisfied with the plates that are available in the salon, you can always buy the one you like best and bring it to the nail technician or do a manicure yourself.
The price of this stamping is around 59.94 rubles.
Decals
The process of gluing pictures is simple: first prepare the nails, then apply a picture to the varnish coating and cover it with top coat. Nowadays, New Year's manicures with beautiful pictures are more often done by schoolgirls than by their mothers.
Manicures for schoolgirls are planned in 2 cases: if parents want to reward their child for studying or are trying to prevent nail biting. It becomes a pity to bite beautiful nails, and the habit gradually disappears. Bright and attractive pictures will definitely delight the little fashionista. These can be not only snowflakes, but also sets of different elements in a New Year's theme.
The price is around 158.59 rubles.
All types of pictures are suitable for gel polish: both regular and those made on a transparent basis. They are absolutely safe as they do not come into direct contact with the nail.
The price is around 41.73 rubles.
5D Holo stickers create a convex pattern on the nail. These can be wavy lines, dots, marble stains. They are attached in the same way as other types of stickers. Use it if you are tired of the usual design and don’t have time to create chic patterns.
The price is around 69.05 rubles.
Modern stickers can completely imitate a manicure and are created for those who have not had time to decorate their nails.
Very easy to apply. But the useful life of the pictures is 2-4 days - no more than that of a simple varnish with top coat. Therefore, you still need to make an appointment with the master. The price is around 97.12 rubles.

Speaking about the trends of recent seasons, one cannot fail to mention the design with rubbing. The manicure looks fascinating and gentle. The design with pearl inlay looks especially beautiful. On a white or other light background, this type of rub looks beautiful and gentle in winter.
Initially, rubbing was used only for a single-color coating of nails, but nail artists went even further and began to create patterns with further coating with rubbing. The result is a three-dimensional design, for example, Christmas trees, balls, anchors and steering wheels (in summer manicure), which, thanks to the rubbing, stand out from the general background, look catchy and very beautiful.
Shellac manicure design is a broad topic that, in addition to the 5 trends presented, includes other techniques. Among them are New Year's nail art with a huge variety of patterns: snowflakes, Christmas trees, deer, numerous patterns with lace, foil and rhinestones. We offer you 100 photo ideas for stylish manicure for winter 2020, which you can repeat on your nails.
The most delicate nude for pastel manicure in 2022, photo
Neutral color palettes are very often used when spring or summer approaches, but in a New Year's manicure this combination looks even better! A white or any pastel base along with a large element in the middle will be an excellent addition to both your look and manicure.
For a delicate nude, an oval nail shape, also a rounded square, is best suited. Sharp and clear lines can seriously harm the harmony in a manicure, so they should be used with caution. In the photo below, for example, an oval shape would be better rather than a square one. Due to the sharpness, the nails do not look so attractive, pay attention to this.
It is important to note that now it is becoming very popular to do a manicure on short oval-shaped nails, so the most delicate New Year's version will be an excellent solution for a short nail plate.
Patterns and ornaments for the New Year holiday 2022, photo
A variety of patterns will decorate nails of any shape. Snowflakes, a festive ornament - all this can be placed on all nail plates, or on several for decoration. You can draw patterns yourself or use ready-made stickers and slides.
Winter painting should be glossy, so don't forget about the shiny coating. Snow patterns on nails look like they were copied from a window and complement any look with their colors. The shape of the nail plate can be any, as well as its size.
