And what better way to embrace "transformation" than to give yourself an awesome makeover for the New Year!

The snake is linked to the fire element, while 2025 will be a wood element year. So, fire and wood decide the lucky colours for 2025, which are red, black, and yellow.

But there are also plenty of auspicious colours you can wear to boost your luck!

Embrace your bold side with a striking crimson red or add subtle auburn highlights for a touch of warmth. If you're feeling adventurous, experiment with a fiery ombre or balayage that incorporates different shades of red.

A classic red manicure never goes out of style, but you can also explore various nail art designs. Try a festive ombre effect, add glitter accents for sparkle, or incorporate delicate floral patterns to spice things up.

If the idea of dyeing your whole head yellow sounds daunting (don't blame ya!), you could try experimenting with a gradient effect that transitions from darker roots to a lighter yellow at the tips. Or perhaps, some warm honey highlights may be the way to go if you want a cheerful and vibrant look.

Choose a cheerful pastel yellow for a subtle touch or go bold with a vibrant lemon yellow. You can also create aesthetic nail art designs with yellow and gold accents by adding cute flowers or geometric shapes.

Black can sound boring, especially if you're looking to try something new and different. You could add subtle black lowlights for depth and dimension. If you're feeling daring, try a black ombre or balayage with contrasting colors like silver or red.

A classic black manicure exudes elegance and sophistication. You can also experiment with different textures, such as matte black or glossy black with glitter accents. Consider incorporating snake-inspired nail art for a touch of symbolism.

With the colour black, the choices are limitless, you can't really go wrong with it.

For a bold and dramatic look, consider dyeing your hair a deep plum or a vibrant violet. If you prefer a more subtle approach, a balayage with shades of purple melting into your natural hair colour can create a mesmerising and stylish effect.

Choose a rich amethyst shade for a classic and elegant look. If you're feeling creative, you can opt for a cosmos theme by adding a pretty galaxy effect, blending shades of purple with silver glitter for a touch of sparkle. You can also incorporate purple into intricate nail art designs, such as floral patterns, geometric shapes, or even snake-inspired motifs.

For a bold and refreshing look, emerald green could add a touch of playful sophistication to your style. If you prefer a more subtle approach, try having green highlights or lowlights to add dimension and a touch of nature-inspired flair to your existing hair colour.

A calming jade green promotes balance and harmony, perfect for attracting positive energy in the new year. Plus, it's the perfect backdrop for some seriously cute nail art. Delicate flower petals or snake-inspired swirls would totally complete the look and bring those earthy vibes to life.

Looking for a hair colour that's both stylish and calming? Embrace the warmth and depth of a rich chocolate brown or explore other shades like caramel, auburn, or mahogany. Not ready for a full-on transformation? Subtle highlights or lowlights can add dimension and warmth to your natural colour.

This year, give your nails a break from the bright and bold and embrace the earthy elegance of brown. A warm coffee brown or a rich mahogany shade will complement any style and bring a touch of understated chic to your fingertips. And if you're feeling adventurous, experiment with some nature-inspired nail art — think tortoiseshell patterns, leafy designs, or even a touch of gold foil for a bit of sparkle.

Dive headfirst into a sea of blue hues this year. From the deep mystery of sapphire to the playful vibrancy of turquoise and teal, there's a shade to match your mood. Don't be afraid to mix it up with different blue-toned highlights to make your hair pop!

It's time to make a splash with blue nails! A calming sky blue will bring a touch of serenity to your everyday hustle. Or maybe you're feeling bold and adventurous? Turquoise is a great statement nail colour. And if you're feeling artistic, let your imagination run wild with gold shimmers and ocean-inspired nail art — think seashells, waves, and maybe even a tiny dolphin.

This shade isn't just for the mature and wise; a head full of long silver hair is pretty majestic. But of course, if that's too bold for you, you can always opt for subtle silver highlights or balayage to still achieve that ethereal effect.

Ditch the basic nudes and opt for shimmery silver nails. Nothing like a sleek silver manicure to make you feel ready to take on anything. Get creative with intricate designs, foils, glitter, and gems. The bolder, the better! Plus, why not add some snake-inspired motifs or lucky symbols for an extra dose of good fortune?

Subtle golden highlights can add dimension and warmth to your natural color, while a gold balayage will give you that 'effortlessly chic' vibe. But if you're truly ready to look like an actual goddess, go full-on Goldilocks to welcome the New Year.

Forget the basic reds this year (maybe not completely), and show off your golden tips! Red and gold is a classic Chinese New Year nail look, which you can enhance by adding auspicious symbols like blooming peonies or lucky cats.

But a simple gold manicure can also do wonders for your festive look.
