How to choose New Year’s Eve nails

Gold or silver
Match your jewellery. Gold Rush and Champagne Sparkles suit gold; Silver Glam and Stardust suit silver. Both look right with black, sequins and velvet.
Black with sparkle
For a darker, grown-up look, Galactic Noir adds silver sparkle to black, and Midnight Marble adds gold swirls. Lovely with a black dress or a sharp suit.
Something moodier
Not a gold person? Twilight Ombre and Ultraviolet bring violet and lilac sparkle, and Cosmic Nights is deep navy glitter like a midnight sky.
Sparkle without full glitter
Glitter fades like Gold Dipped and Champagne Fade keep the base soft and the sparkle at the tips, which also suits nights out well into January.

New Year’s Eve nails

Champagne Sparkles, Gold Rush, Silver Glam, Stardust and Cosmic Nights for the big night, with Velvet Rouge and Royal Rose if you would rather go deep red.

Every set is real semi-cured gel: 20 strips in a range of widths, a nail file and a manicure stick. Press on, trim, cure under a UV or LED lamp for 60 seconds, and they come off with a few drops of cuticle oil, with no acetone.

Good to know

When should I do my nails for New Year’s Eve?+

A few days before is plenty. Velvora gel strips last up to 14 days on fingernails, and often longer on toes, when applied to clean, dry nails and cured fully.

How long does a set take to apply?+

About ten minutes: press on, trim the excess, cure under a UV or LED lamp for 60 seconds, then file to shape.

How do I take them off?+

Add a few drops of cuticle oil around each edge, gently lift with a wooden stick and peel the strip away. No acetone, no soaking.

What nail colour suits New Year’s Eve?+

Gold, silver and champagne glitter are the New Year’s Eve classics, followed by black with sparkle and deep jewel tones. Pick gold or silver to match your jewellery, or choose a glitter fade for something softer that still catches the light.

Can one set last from Christmas to New Year?+

Yes, with good timing. Velvora gel strips last up to 14 days on fingernails, so a set applied a couple of days before Christmas can still be glossy at midnight on the 31st. Choose a gold or red that suits both.

Can I wear New Year’s Eve nails for other nights out?+

Of course. Gold, silver and black sparkle suit any party, birthday drinks or dinner out, not just the countdown. If you want a change in January, a few drops of cuticle oil and a gentle peel take them off with no acetone.
