Ring in 2013 with This New Year’s Eve Nail Art

By Augusta Falletta, Beauty High

Our philosophy on New Year's Eve is that you need to start 2013 with some envy-inducing nail art. If you come into the new year with chipped polish and unfiled fingernails, you set a bad precedent for the months to come. Instead, opt for some gorgeous nail art or, if nothing else, a simple and chic color.
Whether you're staying in or heading to the most talked about party in town, you'll likely be holding a flute of champagne and saying "cheers" at midnight (or 12:01, after a midnight kiss). Considering the extended amount of time your nails will be on display, we suggest making sure they look good enough to play the part.
Let's face it: we can't all be Picasso with a nail polish brush, but that doesn't mean you can't have a little fun! A little bit of glitter or a matte top coat will do the trick and your friends will still be asking you to do their nails. Choose a gradient look or a half moon manicure, but whatever you pick, make sure to leave enough dry time to avoid smudges at the party.
