Medium Nails 20 Ideas: New Year 2024 Trending Designs and Colors

Hey there, beautiful souls! It’s Anna here. If you’re anything like me, the onset of winter has you rummaging through nail inspiration for the upcoming New Year. As we prepare to bid farewell to 2023 and welcome the freshness of 2024, our nails need a makeover too. Just like switching up your hair or updating your wardrobe, your nails are an extension of your style, and there’s no better time to jazz them up than New Year’s Eve.

My Personal Nail Journey

I’ve always been a nail enthusiast. The feeling of having my nails freshly done, with the latest design and colors, always boosts my confidence. Over the years, I’ve seen a myriad of trends come and go, but the excitement of the holiday season and the magic of Silvester night always brings out the most creative designs.

Popular Colors for 2024

Celebrating Eve with Red and Black

The classics never go out of style, do they? Red and black have been staples for the holiday season for as long as I can remember. And for New Year 2024, these colors are making a massive comeback. Just picture a mid-length square acrylic nail with a base of glossy black, accented with a pop of red. Now that’s a statement!

The Magic of White and Glitter

Nothing says winter more than the purity of white. And when you pair it with a sprinkle of glitter? Pure magic. Whether you’re going for a snowy evening look or channeling your inner ice queen, the white and glitter combo is bound to turn heads.

Designs Taking Over This Silvester

Short Acrylic and Square Acrylic

While long talons have had their moment, this New Year is all about the mid and short acrylics. They’re chic, manageable, and oh-so-trendy. The square acrylic shape, in particular, lends a neatness to your hands, making them look elegant and poised.

The Classic French Tip

Oh, the timeless French tip! This design is like that comforting old song you never tire of. And guess what? The French tip is getting a festive makeover this year. Imagine a classic French with a glittery gold tip or perhaps a twist with the ever-trendy dip powder.

Choosing Between Gel and Dip

The Rise of Dip Powder

Dip nails have taken the beauty world by storm. They’re durable, look stunning, and the application is relatively quick. Plus, the finish you get from dip powder is unparalleled. It’s no wonder many are shifting towards this trend.

Why Gel Remains a Holiday Favorite

That said, gel nails have their own set of loyalists, and I can see why. They’re glossy, last for weeks, and the variety of colors and designs you can play with is mind-boggling. Especially for the holiday season, when you want your nails to complement multiple outfits, gel nails are a safe bet.
