Many people believe that if you get a manicure done according to Feng Shui, it will help you become richer, more successful and generally happier. Today, this science is used not only in China, where it originated, but throughout the world.
How is the doctrine of harmony and beauty connected with nail services, how to use its provisions in order to see its positive effect for yourself?
Let's look at it in order.
What it is
Eastern practice tells how to organize space in the house and arrange objects in a special way in order to ultimately attract positive energy. In general, Feng Shui is applicable to many areas of life, and nail art is proof of this.
It is important to know several points:
- The main role is given to the correct selection of colors. However, images also carry a special message, so stock up on a variety of brushes, toothpicks, glitter and paints.
- Knowing the intricacies of the basics of the teaching can play into your hands, so it would not be amiss to become more familiar with the practice at the preparatory stage. It is also important to determine your element; this is what you will use in the future when choosing the color of the varnish.
According to this philosophy, there are five elements. These are water and earth, fire, wood and metal. To find out your affiliation, look at the last digit of your year of birth. So 0 or 1 speaks of metal, 2 or 3 - of water, 4 or 5 - of wood, 5 or 7 - of fire, 8 or 9 - of earth.
It is worth noting: if you were born between January 1 and February 20, subtract one from the last digit. This must be done because the beginning of the year in the Chinese calendar falls at the end of February.
Basic Rules
As it turned out, the contrasting highlighting of some fingers is not just a fashion trend, there is a special subtext hidden in it. Performing a nail design according to ancient mystical secrets can save a woman from health problems and increases success in the work and love spheres.
The procedure must be carried out according to special rules; failure to comply with them can nullify all plans. However, do not worry ahead of time, all the recommendations are simple and have already been adapted to modern conditions.
What you need to know:
- First, find out which of the five elements you belong to;
- determine a “happy” color combination;
- choose your accent fingers wisely. In this teaching, each finger is responsible for a specific function;
- prepare the nail plate, give it the desired shape;
- It is forbidden to carry out the procedure in a bad mood and with negative messages;
- The location of the action is also important.

Where is the best place to stay?
The working area where the tools are located plays an important role. Experts say that the effect is multiplied if you choose the right place in an apartment or house:
- to attract money - do a manicure in the room where money, jewelry or clothes are stored;
- nail art for love - in the bedroom;
- for good luck and for career advancement - on a desktop or desk with a computer;
- to improve health - in places where care procedures are carried out (bathroom, dressing table).
In general, ancient Chinese teachings do not contradict the traditional basics of nail service. It is better to use materials of natural origin.
When shaping the plate, avoid excessively sharp and long corners. They, according to philosophers, “cut off” a person’s luck. Don't do a trim manicure either. After steaming the cuticle, remove it with an orange stick.
Which fingers should I paint?
The location of special shades on individual fingers depends on several nuances:
- the girl’s personal tastes and preferences (you need to clearly understand the goals being pursued);
- correlating innermost desires with certain meanings of the fingers (Eastern practice has assigned each of them unique purposes in a person’s destiny).
It so happens that the right hand has more power than the left. Subject to the laws of yin-yang, this entire side of the body has stronger positive energy.
So, which fingers of the right hand should you paint?:
- Large - responsible for intelligence and enlightenment of the mind, success in any endeavor, even in gambling.
- Index – harmony between the inner ego and real possibilities. When properly designed, it increases stress resistance and self-confidence.
- Medium – wealth, provokes an influx of finance. The correct color selection will help you get rid of excessive aggressiveness and dissatisfaction.
- Nameless - family hearth, harmony in the home and mutual respect with a partner. Grants a sense of adventure. Helps you find love.
- The little finger attracts a calm and measured flow of life. Helps to peacefully resolve conflict situations and negotiate with competitors.
Why did we only look at one hand?
The fact is that highlighting the marigolds on the left hand can attract negative phenomena, since the whole hand displays completely opposite qualities.
That is why, following the laws of philosophy, it is better to highlight and accentuate the nails on only one hand, and cover the other with a plain neutral varnish that matches your element.
If the situation sparkles with negativity, the relationship with your loved one leaves much to be desired, seek help from the nail on your ring finger, brightly coloring it in the appropriate shade.
The index finger will help you stand out from the crowd of competitors and succeed in what you love. And financial success is inevitable if you create an emphasis on the average.
For every element
Previously, the simplest method for determining one’s own element was given.
It's time to find out what lies behind each of them:
- Water symbolizes new life, security, and a surge of emotions. Colors - the whole spectrum of blue, white and black. Images - waves, snowflakes, dew drops, rain, fish and sea life.
- Earth – steadfastness, fortitude, adaptability to life’s troubles. Preferred colors are brown, yellowish sand, brown, sand. These colors are responsible for a person’s sense of harmony. Imitation of stones, sand, and geometric motifs performed well as designs.
- Wood - according to Chinese philosophy, this is bamboo, durable, flexible, plastic. The Tree Woman is sociable, easily finds a way out of any current situation, and is open to everything new. Color euphony is expressed in brown, greenish and black colors; they develop creativity and help make informed decisions. As decoration, you should choose plant ornaments and insects.
- Metal – strong character, steely fortitude. Gold and silver undertones act like a magnet for wealth and recognition. Grayish, black and multi-colored colors with a metallic effect have a positive effect. Decor – rhinestones, foil, casting, mirror rubbing.
- Fire – Flame women are by nature powerful, energetic, passionate and unpredictable. Burgundy, red, red, yellow-orange tones attract success. Images of the sun, flames, and sparkling elements will help enhance the meaning.
The meaning of color in manicure: attracting love and wealth
In this article, let's look at the meaning of the color of the varnish, as well as the meaning of each finger and their “shared use” to attract the necessary events in life.
In Eastern cultures, each finger carries a certain “load,” which is not surprising. There, great importance has always been given to acupuncture techniques, where it is important for the body to influence even a very small point, not to mention the fingers.
We can highlight the desired nail and, accordingly, the finger in order to create additional so-called vibration and concentrate attention on the desired area of life.
The designation of each finger on the hands was written in the previous article. This time we will find out which of them are worth highlighting in order to more accurately achieve the desired results.
I note that only two fingers should be highlighted.
Because if, with the help of varnish, we focus on, for example, three, then those two that were not highlighted will participate in attracting benefits.
So, let's find out how to enhance the beneficial effects with the help of nail polish colors.
Let's start with the fact that the meaning of nail color is very important, each shade carries certain energetic and real information, a message that we broadcast to the world and the universe.
The meaning of color in manicure
It is easiest to guess about the red color in manicure and its meaning. This is one of the most emotional flowers, it symbolizes love, passion, sexuality and attracts positive energy.
Red can activate efficiency and vitality.
Pink represents femininity and tenderness, eliminates misunderstandings and establishes harmonious relationships.
White should be chosen by those who are committed to creation, the pursuit of knowledge and harmonious activity; in addition, it is capable of purifying energy.
But brown, in some interpretations, carries negativity, I don’t know what he did wrong. I prefer its other designation - it is the color of calm and inner strength, it gives confidence and supports in conflict situations.
Beige tones are lightweight variations of brown. Any shades of beige will bring harmony and tranquility.
Less common tones in manicure also have their meaning.
The meaning of blue manicure: this is a color that can encourage self-development and self-knowledge. Combines sensitivity and rationalism at the same time, helps to collect thoughts.
Green is the color of calm and naturalness; it is believed to have mild healing properties. Dark green shades stand out; they are associated with wealth and luxury.
Blue symbol of daydreaming. It is able to relieve tension and tune in to relaxation, at the same time it is believed that blue can help with career growth.
Yellow is a symbol of joy and good mood and can improve brain activity.
Manicure to attract love according to Feng Shui
Let me briefly point out that even the place where you get your manicure matters.
In the science of Feng Shui, each room in an apartment carries its own energy. And to enhance the desired effect, doing nails to attract love is best done in the bedroom. The least suitable rooms for this are those with running water; in this case, all the love energy will “flow out” along with the water.
As for the shape of the nails, in this case they should not be sharp and long, since in this case it “cuts” positive energy. The length should be reduced, and from the variety of shapes, prefer an oval or a soft square.
As was written above, the color of love, passion and increased attention is red. This is what we will use in the “magic” manicure.
The fingers responsible for the love sphere are the ring fingers. It’s not for nothing that the symbol of love – a wedding ring – is worn on the ring finger. Therefore, it is the nameless one that should be painted with varnish in red tones.
The color does not have to be a clear bright red, it has many shades and variations from coral red to crimson or marsala, a former favorite of 2015, one of the most beautiful colors of past years. Link to an old article about Marsala just to enjoy)
Since, in connection with the teachings of Feng Shui, for the full effect it would be most correct to highlight two fingers, then the most suitable “meaning” in this case will be the index finger, its sphere is self-confidence and one’s own strengths.
Additional attributes in the form of designs on nails would also be appropriate: we write about love, draw hearts, cupids, arrows and flowers, especially peonies, which are considered the main “love” flowers.
Feng Shui manicure to attract money
An office is considered a suitable room in the house for applying a money manicure. And also either the place where you store cash reserves, or where there are expensive items.
According to experts, painting your nails is good at work, but will everyone’s employer share the teachings of Feng Shui))
The fingers responsible for attracting wealth are the middle finger, responsible for finances, and the index finger, or the middle finger and thumb.
Money shades are considered to be gold and silver, green, yellow, purple and gray.
You can add as a picture:
- hieroglyphs denoting monetary well-being;
- monetary symbols;
- image of a dragon;
- peacock feather.
To further enhance the attraction of financial flow, put a ring with a large stone on the middle or thumb.
Today a miracle will not happen, but by broadcasting the necessary message to the universe, we will fulfill our wish and, perhaps even much earlier than expected.

Current colors for the most romantic holiday
Manicure begins with choosing the shape of the nail cut and the color of the varnish. And if the shape of the nail still depends more on such things as the general structure of the hand, the nails themselves, the depth and shape of the groove, then the choice of color depends on the personal taste preferences of fashionistas and young ladies.
But do not forget that Valentine’s Day is still a day for romantic moods and charm, and therefore for manicure it is worth choosing colors that are close to the “love story” and hint at feelings and heartfelt affections.
So, not only red and pink nail polish colors will be relevant for manicure on this day, but also:
- white and all its shades;
- lilac and lilac;
- soft blue and deep blue;
- burgundy, wine;
- black.
For example, it’s easy to add elegance to white and beige nails using foil, confetti, as well as sparkles or themed designs in color.
Minimalism remains trendy for those who love this style and see romance and sophistication in it. A small image on one of the nails in the form of a loving couple or a heart will add sophistication to even a matte manicure in nude shades and hint at the theme of the image.
Even geometry, if complemented with rubbing, will look perfect and festive. See for yourself by watching the video for an example of such a manicure for February 14th.
In general, the use of a variety of sliders with ready-made designs, negative space techniques and cobwebs, as well as delicate French and the use of rhinestones and kamifubuki will be an excellent choice for a fashionable design in manicure.
Elements of images and inscriptions reminiscent of the theme of the holiday must also be present. After all, they are the ones who bring the mood and spirit into the design, which conveys all the romance and tenderness of feelings associated with Valentine’s Day.
Funny images using cartoon characters and animals are perfect for very young girls, as are romantic images in the form of flowers, the Eiffel Tower or the streets of Paris.
Which fingers should I highlight?
Now let's look at specific examples of how to attract certain benefits.
To attract money
To ensure that financial well-being always accompanies you in everything, when painting your nails, follow three simple rules:
- Place contrast on the middle and ring fingers.
- Use “money” shades of varnishes. The most popular of them are golden, purple, turquoise, and rich green.
- Draw a sign on your accent nail to symbolize money.
There is a nuance - the right hand is aimed at “giving back” energy, while the left hand, on the contrary, attracts it from the outside. Accordingly, in order not to lose your money to the Universe, leave the drawings on the “receiving” pen.
To attract love
Theory experts know what kind of nail art to perform so that the girl is surrounded by warm and blood-stirring feelings. So, most practitioners agree that the main “figures” here are the ring finger.
It is worth painting it with red varnish, or depicting a catchy thematic picture on it.
For good luck
The definition of luck has its own meaning for everyone. For some it is to find the love of their life, for some it is happiness if their children and loved ones are healthy, but there is a category of people who cannot imagine existing without fame and recognition from society.
In general, to make your days filled with wonderful moments, it is worth highlighting your index and middle fingers. Choose the color of the varnish depending on what kind of event you want to attract.
Popular options
A manicure will tell you a lot
The simplest option for painting nails according to Feng Shui is to highlight one finger according to the intended purpose. A very popular option is to highlight the middle and ring fingers with one color or two different colors (in relation to the background). This design means success in love combined with material prosperity. If your priority goals are money and career growth, you need to highlight your middle finger and index finger.
For good studies, successful exams, intellectual and creative achievements, it is worth painting your thumb and little finger a different color. The thumb in combination with the middle finger is used to materialize intellectual activity and profit from it. If you want to improve the situation in all areas of your life, you can paint each nail in an individual color corresponding to its element.
Photo ideas according to all the rules
The variety of shades, combination of colors and decorative elements allows you to make Feng Shui nail art diverse and in line with the latest trends.
Focus on two fingers
The most popular solution. The rich pink background complements the pastel shade of light pink on the middle and ring fingers.
This way you will attract success in all areas, and will soon find yourself in a whirlpool of romantic events.
Mysterious French
This option can also be adjusted to the Eastern theory. Cover the tips of your nails with black and white ornate patterns to harmonize the masculine and feminine principles, balance the influence of the elements and life's trials.
Summer colors
This interesting variation is explained as follows. With each tone we activate certain urges. We balance bright colors with neutral ones.
White design with hearts
If everyday life has become boring and you desperately lack time to express romantic feelings, cover your nails with white varnish and draw hearts on your ring fingers. You can use a slider design with corresponding pictures. Such a creation will bring harmony to relationships and family union.
Half of the success depends on the right attitude during the manipulation. Sit comfortably, turn on soothing music if necessary. Imagine how all your deepest dreams come true, feel the taste and smell of victory, thank the Universe for the experience gained and the fulfillment of past plans. Cast aside any doubt, everything will definitely come true.
What manicure will attract love into your life?
The ancient sages believed that each finger on the hand has a specific meaning. Love is a sublime, romantic and passionate feeling, marriage is stability, the ability to forgive and understand. So the ring finger is responsible for heartfelt sympathy and sexuality. And for strong family ties and friendships - a little finger. To attract love into life and arouse interest in the opposite sex, it is these two fingers that you should focus on during a manicure.
According to the rules of Feng Shui, a person should be surrounded by a harmonious and calm environment. Therefore, when planning to do a manicure at home, take care of privacy in advance and make sure that no one will disturb you. When starting design, you should think about the positive. It is very important to tune in to a positive and romantic mood and imagine the upcoming changes. Choose the right place for the procedure. The best option is one of the rooms. The bathroom and kitchen are not suitable, otherwise positive energy will flow between your fingers like running water.
Let's find out what types of manicure will help attract love:
- Ombre. The soft transition of one tone to another looks beautiful and impressive on the nails. By highlighting the ring finger and little finger on a gradient manicure, you can create an interesting and non-standard design.
- With an image. One of the most suitable manicure options for attracting mutual love. Prints in the form of beautiful flowers, cute hearts, geometric patterns, delicate lace look very feminine and set the mood for a romantic mood. When doing a manicure with a print, it is important to remember your sense of taste. The drawing should come out sophisticated, not tasteless.
- With decor. Additional elements in the form of gold or silver foil, kamifubuki, rhinestones or glitter will help make a beautiful accent on the ring and little fingers.
- French. It is no coincidence that French manicure is most often done by brides on their wedding day. This design is all about tenderness, femininity and elegance. A beautiful jacket will certainly attract the attention of others.
It is better to give up long nails in favor of medium size. You should also not make a sharp form. Give preference to a soft square or oval.
