With the lunar new year fast approaching, it&rsquo;s time to refresh your look before facing an onslaught of reunions and house visits. And for many of us, our beauty rituals may range from refreshing your wardrobe to getting a fresh hairdo, to even a manicure, which is one of the easiest and most stylish ways to capture the spirit of Chinese New Year.&nbsp;

So if you&rsquo;re in need of some Lunar New Year nail inspiration, here are the top 2020 nail trends to inspire you for your next visit to your manicurist.

&nbsp;

1. Mickey Mouse shaped nails&nbsp;

When it comes to nail shapes, we can be pretty conservative, sticking to the usual rounds or squared shaped tips. Which is why this unique nail shape trend, featuring a glittery mouse nail tip by professional manicurist <a href="https://www.instagram.com/nail_unistella/">Park Eunkyung</a>, is a welcome change and totally appropriate for the year of the mouse.

2.&nbsp; Mix &amp; Match patterns&nbsp;

​​​​​​Inspired by the 80s, these fun nails will make you feel like you&rsquo;re in an episode of Saved By The Bell.
