As we approach the Year of the Green Wood Snake in 2025, certain manicure styles are deemed unsuitable for New Year’s celebrations. Dark colors like black, gray, and blue should be avoided, as well as classic nude shades, which can be refreshed with festive designs like snowflakes. Three-dimensional manicures and neon colors are also discouraged. Instead, opt for elegant natural palettes, such as emerald and deep royal shades. The classic red manicure, associated with fire, is believed to bring bad luck in this wood-themed year. Floral summer designs should be postponed in favor of winter-themed nail art.
