New Year’s Eve Nails, Elevated: A Chic, Studded Moment by @DenasNails

When it comes to New Year’s Eve nails, it’s all about drama, dimension, and sparkle—and this stunning set by @DenasNails delivers all three effortlessly. Sleek, moody, and dripping in studded, cat eye detail, this design is the perfect example of how soft sheers and strategic shine can create a show-stopping look without overpowering the nail.

Let’s break down what makes this set such a standout and how you can recreate it using Light Elegance favorites.

The Base: Soft Structure with Sheer JimmyGel

This look starts with the perfect foundation using Sheer Black JimmyGel layered with Sheer Sparkle JimmyGel. The result?
A smoky, translucent base that adds depth and sophistication while still feeling light and modern. JimmyGel’s effortless application and strength make it ideal for creating clean structure while keeping the overall look soft and wearable.

✨ Pro tip: Layering sheer shades allows light to pass through the nail, creating a dimensional effect that feels luxe and intentional, perfect for evening looks and special occasions.

The Shine Factor: P+ Ice Kitty Gel Polish

No New Year’s Eve set is complete without sparkle, and P+ Ice Kitty Gel Polish delivers just the right amount of icy shimmer. Its fine reflective particles catch the light beautifully, enhancing the sheer base without competing with it.

This subtle sparkle is what takes the set from minimalist to celebration-ready.

The Finishing Touch: P+ Top Coat

To seal in the design and give it that flawless, glass-like finish, P+ No Wipe Top Coat is the final step. It smooths the surface, enhances shine, and ensures every crystal and shimmer detail stays looking fresh well past midnight.

If you wanted to take your shimmer to the next level, try finishing with P+ Pretty Kitty Top Coat for extra sparkles!
