Party Perfect Nails Tutorial

New Year's Eve is always a big night. In additional to that fabulous dress and those killer heels, you need a dazzling manicure to make yourself feel extra sparkly. This nail look below is what I'm sporting to my New Year's Eve party. This party-perfect look is very girly and fun and best of all, it is super easy to recreate.

Begin with a base coat of lilac nail polish.

You can also use a baby pink color or even a pinkish-nude polish.

I used PURE ICE nail polish in Desire You

Once the base coat dries, apply a dark pink or magenta color over it.

Begin from the bottom quarter of your nails.

I used ZOYA's Mieko

Next, apply a purple polish over the second coat.

Start about midway up your nails.

I'm using PURE ICE's Iced Merlot.

Finish creating the gradients by painting the tips of your nails with a deep purple color.

I'm using OPI's DS Extravagence.

Finally, finish with two coats of a clear, glittery polish.

This step is absolutely crucial as the glitter hides any imperfections and blends everything together.

I'm using ULTA's polish in After Party.

Products Used (in order from left to right):

Tips:

• Since you're working with lots of layers here, allow ample time between each coats for them to dry.
• This look works best on long nails.
• Don't try to make each layer perfect; the final coat will conceal any smudges or mistakes.
• Feel free to experiment with other colors as long as they are in the same color family.

Hope you enjoy the look!
