13 Stunning Nail Art Looks That Are Perfect for New Year's Eve

'Tis the season to get lit dressed to the nines, try out some new sexy hairstyles, take your makeup to the next level, and rock the glitteriest colors and designs on your fingertips. Need some inspo on the latter? Here, 13 stunning nails looks for your DIYing (and Instagramming!) pleasure:

1. Sophisticated and Sparkly Gold and Black Ombré Mani:

Ready to try your hand at this look at home? It's as easy as one, two, three:

1. Paint on black lacquer. After you've applied a basecoat over your tips, sweep on an opaque black polish. I used Ricky Color in "Gypsy Cab" here.

2. Dip your fingertip in glitter and pat it onto the polish. While the black paint is somewhat still tacky, dip the tip of your finger into a pot of loose glitter and then gently pat it over the tip of your nail. Then, continue dabbing the glitter toward the center of your nail to create an ombré effect. I used Ingot AMC Pure Pigment Eye Shadow in "121" here.

3. Finish with topcoat. To avoid dragging the glitter into the black polish, dip the brush into the clear formula, start near your cuticle, and gently pull the clear coat toward the tip of your nail. Try Nails Inc. 2-in-1 Base and Top Coat.
