13 Best Chinese New Year Nail Ideas for 2022
Before I go to the nail salon for a Valentine's Day manicure or begin to lay out St. Patrick's Day nails, I invite you (as if you'd even be reminded) to let me congratulate you on the upcoming Lunar New Year. And your Chinese New Year nails will definitely rekindle the spark the following day, February 1. After the Year of the Tiger (so if you're born in 1986 or 1998, this is the Year of the Tiger for you), IMHO, there is no better way to kick off the celebration than with a pair of vibrantly decorated fingernails. Get your screenshotting fingers ready, as there are some really cool ideas below, including gold foil-covered nails and red wavy designs. Ahead, 13 of the best nail ideas for Chinese New Year.
1. These Red and Gold Tips for Chinese New Year
The glitz of red nail polish, French tips, and subtle gold accents makes it a cheerful skincare idea for Chinese New Year. If you share this with your nail artist, be sure to ask them to keep your pinky nails red like this photo to create a pattern element.
2. Gold Foil Nails for Lunar New Year
Like this, nail artist Hang Nguyen mentions, gold foil is much easier to fabricate than other nail designs and always looks impressive. All you require are clear nail polish, some gold foil, and tweezers. Carefully place the foil flat on your fresh coat of polish with the tweezers, and once dry, cover the design with a shiny topcoat.
3. This Wavy Red Nail Idea
If you have a thin nail brush and red nail polish, you can be fully prepared to recreate this red nail design for the upcoming Chinese New Year.

4. Silver and Gold New Year Nails
