December is here and that means it's time to get into the holiday spirit and give yourself a little magic. Your nails can be the highlight of the month, and you don't have to rush to the salon to do it. Get inspired by the festive mood and creativity to create the perfect New Year manicure with your own hands.

This idea will especially appeal to those who have already mastered home manicures, have their own lamp for drying gel varnishes and have at least basic skills in creating nail designs. 

If you like original ideas for a dressy manicure, then pay attention to this stylish french! Instead of traditional white tips, we use red and gold, creating a ribbon effect like on a New Year's gift. Following a simple step-by-step plan, you can easily recreate this manicure at the level of an experienced master! 

1. Before starting nail-design well degrease your nails to ensure better adhesion and durability of the coating.

2. Using gloves or a special applicator, gently rub the gold chrome powder into each nail, focusing only on the tip. Try to avoid applying the powder to the area near the cuticle.

3. Run a file along the edge of each nail to ensure the chrome coating lays flat and flawless.

4. Using nail bond, gently draw chaotic waves on the tips of the nails.

5. Apply a stained red shade of nail polish using a fine brush over the waves and dry your nails in the lamp.

6. Then, using a thin brush, apply the top and carefully paint a second wave that follows the shape of the first. After that, dry your nails again in the lamp.

7. Wipe your nails with a degreaser to remove any residual rubbing compound and prepare the surface for the final step.

8. Apply a thin layer of topcoat to the entire surface of your nails and dry in the lamp - the perfect New Year's Eve French manicure is ready!
