Party Nails: 5 Trends We Expect To See This Season
1. Metallic Ombré
First up, it’s everyone’s go-to partywear texture: shiny metallics. While chrome and velvety cat eye nails have been a top trend this year, we expect to see party season elevate the trend with a sophisticated ombre effect. ‘Stunning gradients of metallic shades like gold, silver and rose gold will be everywhere for party season,’ confirms manicurist and Mylee Senior Ambassador, Tinu Bello. ‘Think smooth colour transitions from a deep base shade, to a shimmering shine at the tips.’

2. Snowy Silver White
Whether or not you’re forecasted a white Christmas this year, you can still frost your party look with an ice-cold mani. ‘Snow-white nails with silver foil or chrome accents are popping off for Christmas,’ notes Tinu. ‘This style resembles sparkling snowflakes on frosty winter landscape – winter perfection. You can then add delicate snowflake designs or keep it minimal with scattered silver dots or lines, for a bespoke finish.’

3. Tinsel Stripes
Taking inspiration from the tree this year? You’re not the only one. ‘For a look that screams “festive season” I recommend a fun take on tinsel nails,’ says Tinu. ‘Use a deep, dark base like midnight blue, plum or black, with tinsel-like metallic stripes running diagonally or vertically across each nail to replicate the dazzle of your tree.’

4. Pearl Nails
As far as we’re concerned, pearlcore is still alive and well – especially when it comes to the beauty scene. For this manicure, Tinu recommends ‘a soft pastel or nude base, with small pearl accents to get a subtle and elegant take on party nails. I love pearl adornments along the tips or on one or two accent nails, or a pearl effect with raised pearl-like embellishments for a 3D finish on all fingers.’

5. Champagne Gold
A mani worth toasting to? Following in the footsteps of the Moscow mule nails, Tinu predicts that we’ll find inspiration at the bar this season. And, looking ahead to New Year’s Eve, the prime tipple is none other than champagne. ‘A soft nude or champagne base creates a luxurious liquid gold effect, like drinking from a glass of champagne,’ she tells us. ‘Rich and bubbly; simple but effective.’
