This simple star design looks incredible and would work for the whole holiday season. Begin with glossy sheer nude nails then add shiny stars all over your nails in different sizes to create a gorgeous look. You could opt for silver, gold, bronze, or rose gold for these stars to make this design your own.

We love the dainty and delicate look of this gold star New Year’s Eve nail design. Each of the nails has a glossy neutral base, then the middle and ring fingers are decorated with mini gold stars, while the rest of the nails feature a sweep of gold glitter along the tip and down the side of the nail, framed by white polish.
