What manicure to make for the New Year: 7 interesting ideas for short nails

Short nails will always be in trend! They don't interfere with your daily routine and are easy to care for. In addition, they have a higher level of hygiene than long nails: the smaller the area of the distal edge (the free edge of the nail), the less bacteria accumulate.

Before the New Year holidays, take care of the aesthetics of your hands. Get a manicure and varnish your nails. If you do not know what kind of nail art to choose, read the material of OBOZ.UA.

1. Emerald nails

The symbol of 2024 is the Green Wooden Dragon. According to Eastern philosophy, it loves green colors. So, please the patron saint of the year by painting your nails emerald and applying tiny sparkles on some of them. This may attract good luck into your life.

2. Gingerbread man

Once upon a time, gingerbread men-shaped cookies were made at the court of Queen Elizabeth I of England and Ireland. More specifically, for the winter holidays. Thanks to the added spices, such pastries had a warming effect (which is especially valuable in cold weather). Later, it was cooked all over the world.

For the New Year holidays, decorate your nails with a tiny man. In case you are not in the mood, he will become a gentle reminder that you can enjoy a gingerbread man and your heart will feel better.

3. Snowflakes

Too obvious a design idea? Perhaps it is. But snowflakes will look special if you draw them using blue for the background instead of the classic nude or red color. You can also decorate a few nails that are not painted with hologram rubbing.

4. Snowmen

If you like the classic French manicure, try to diversify it for the winter holidays. For example, draw tiny holly branches, whimsical snowmen, and snowflakes on your nails. You're done!

5. Burgundy nail art

This is an option for those who think that purely burgundy nails are too bold. Paint a few plates with a rich color and the rest with a delicate nude with glitter. You will fall in love with this design.

6. Christmas trees and foxes

The main attribute of the New Year holidays is the Christmas tree. So, you can depict a whole forest of these green beauties and little foxes near them on your nails. If you want a more minimalist version of the design, then draw only a few fir trees on your little and ring fingers.

7. Red nail art

This is another manicure idea for those who like minimalism. Combine bright red, nude, and drawings in the form of holly branches in your design (the thorny leaves of this plant symbolize rebirth and eternal life for Christians; believers are convinced that holly protects against evil spirits).
