Feng Shui manicure has been in fashion for many years: it not only has a special meaning, but also looks trendy. There are several rules for this type of nail design, but otherwise it is a creative process that depends on imagination and intuition. Let's look at how to paint your nails according to Feng Shui to change your image and life for the better.
How to do a manicure according to Feng Shui
Setting up correctly
To paint your nails according to Feng Shui, choosing the right place is of great importance. If the manicure has a clear goal (to attract love, wealth, health, etc.), you can place it in the appropriate area of your home for coloring. If painting your nails according to Feng Shui is aimed at increasing overall well-being or attracting good luck, choose a place according to your feelings, choosing the one in which you feel comfortable.
Before getting a Feng Shui manicure, meditate for 10-15 minutes, closing your eyes and focusing on your breathing. Imagine what you want to achieve and try to feel the desired result. In many cases, it makes sense to clearly formulate your intention and write it on a piece of paper. For the procedure itself, choose musical accompaniment - calm, relaxing melodies. If possible, organize everything so that no one disturbs you in the coming time.
What color should you paint your nails according to Feng Shui?
The colors suitable for highlighting individual nails are selected according to the Feng Shui horoscope, in which the elements and their “male” and “female” manifestations are used instead of signs. It is a common belief that you can calculate your sign by simply looking at the last digit of your year of birth, but in fact this method is erroneous.
The correct determination of your element is carried out using mathematical calculations, but in order not to take out a calculator, you can simply look at the plate below. In it you need to find the period of your birth. You shouldn’t pay attention to the male and female division, Yin and Yang, in manicure: just find out which element you belong to: Wood, Metal, Water, Fire or Earth.
And now the most interesting thing is how to paint your nails according to Feng Shui in order to “please” your element and come into harmony with it. Remember that the colors listed below should be used exactly for those nails on which you focus, and we will talk about the rest of the manicure later.
Tree
So, let's start with the element of Wood. For those born at this time, all shades of green (lime, emerald, marsh), as well as black, are recommended first of all. You can use translucent varnish coatings, as well as various patterns with twigs, flowers, butterflies, cobwebs and floral patterns.
Water
Blue, blue and gray colors definitely suit girls of the water element. You can use pearlescent shades in manicure, as well as beautiful patterns with fish, snowflakes, waves and marine-themed ornaments. The color purple, associated with a dark stormy sky, is also not prohibited.
Fire
This element speaks for itself. Its colors are rich red, orange, burgundy. In principle, you can use any shades that are associated with the sun, flames of fire and sunset skies. Patterns with flames, sun rays, flowers of bright fiery color are also suitable, and from nail art you can include sparkles, foil and rhinestones in the manicure.
Earth
If your element is Earth, focus on brown, sand, golden, brown and any warm pastel shades. As a decoration, you can paint sand, mountains or an interesting relief of an “earthly” theme on your nails, and natural stones will be the best choice for nail art.
Metal
Any manicure in the metallic style is for you, representatives of the Metal element. Steel, silver, white, bronze and any combination of them in Feng Shui manicure will help you harmonize your life. Among the patterns, it is better to pay attention to stars and planets, various sparkles, rhinestones and glitters, as well as cells.
Selecting a hand and number of fingers
Feng Shui manicure is based on highlighting one or more nails on the fingers (each of which has its own meaning). There can be no hard and fast rules on this matter - there are only recommendations and several proven options. Feng Shui manicure is a modern phenomenon, adapted to ancient Chinese science, and therefore, in many ways, it is created by us ourselves. As for clearly established rules, there are only two of them - the choice of hand and the number of allocated fingers.
Hand selection
According to Feng Shui, the right hand is active and giving, and the left hand is passive and receiving. Therefore, you need to highlight the nails either on both hands or only on the right one. In the first case, you consciously create a cycle of energy - you actively give into the world and receive from it. But the second case also triggers a similar process, since what we give into the world returns to us according to the laws of the Universe. If you work with two hands, to make the process more efficient, allocate identical fingers to them.
Number of fingers
Of the five fingers on the hand, only 1 or 2 should be selected. If we select 3 or 4, this leads to the fact that the remaining fingers that we did not intend to select are actually “working”. The background for highlighted nails is always the majority. The only exception is when we highlight the nails on all five fingers with separate colors.
Finger meanings
The color of the polish will tell you a lot
Traditionally, each finger has a specific meaning assigned to it, and in addition, each finger corresponds to one of the five elements. The difficulty is that the same fingers have both positive and negative meanings. In addition, these meanings must be correctly interpreted according to the activity of the right hand or the passivity of the left. The best thing is to think about this yourself and draw your own conclusions about painting each nail, including information about the elements and shades of colors. (If there is no time to think or no clear conclusions arise, use ready-made, proven options.)
Big
According to Feng Shui, the thumb corresponds to the element of Wood (Wind). On the right giving hand, he is responsible for mental abilities, intelligence, spirituality, the desire for something new, the beginning and development of all processes. The meaning of the thumb on the left receiving hand changes: excessive absorption of information (without return and feedback) leads to anxiety, worry, and unjustified efforts.
The nail on the thumb (of the right hand or both hands) is selected for achieving success in studies, business, intellectual and creative activities.
Pointing
This finger corresponds to the element of Fire. The index finger on the right hand is responsible for guidance and choosing the right direction. It gives purposefulness and power to influence the necessary aspects of the external world. On the left hand, this finger reflects leadership directed from the outside to the inside - in conditions of isolation it creates uncertainty and fears.
The nail on the index finger (of the right hand or both hands) is isolated to develop determination, willpower, and the ability to actively manage the outside world.
Average
The finger located in the middle corresponds to the element of Earth. On the right hand, it denotes confidence and efficiency, connects intention with the right action, and gives a successful result - including money. On the left hand, it reflects the desire for sensual pleasures, the tendency to manipulate the sphere of emotions to obtain the desired result and dissatisfaction with the latter.
The nail on the middle finger (of the right hand or both hands) is isolated for a feeling of stability and stability, to achieve the intended goal, receive money, and successfully complete a business.
Nameless
This finger corresponds to the element of Metal. On the right hand, he is responsible for matters of the heart, vital energy, love and warmth, a feeling of connection with everything in the Universe. On the left hand it reflects the extreme need for love, emotional vampirism, feelings of loneliness and disconnection.
We highlight the nail on the ring finger (of the right hand or both hands) to fill it with love, feel a sense of unity, increase vital energy, and develop a wise attitude towards love.
Little finger
This finger corresponds to the element of Water. On the right hand, the little finger represents proper communication with others, which results in luck, family happiness, successful creativity and a healthy lifestyle. On the left hand, the little finger reflects the wrong approach to communication (lies, gossip, manipulation, etc.) and, as a result, a breakdown in relationships and health, and an inability to be creative.
We highlight the nail on the little finger (of the right hand or both hands) for: improving communications, establishing relationships with a loved one, good luck in business, adapting to change, creative inspiration, raising your spirits and relaxing.
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.
Preparing for a manicure according to Feng Shui
Feng Shui manicure is a real trend in recent years. This is one of the easiest ways to make changes in your life and change Fate’s predisposition towards you for the better. The main thing for the method to start working is to have an optimistic attitude and believe in your actions.
Feng Shui manicure
To ensure that decorated nails attract good luck, money and love into your life, be respectful when preparing for the procedure. It is important to choose the right place to attract good luck.
Love. If you want romance and relationships, get your nails done in the bedroom.
Money. If you are worried about your financial situation and urgently want to improve it, go to where you keep everything precious. This could be a table with a box or a place in the closet where there is a cash stash.
Career. A place where you earn money or learn something new, i.e. your desk or computer desk.
Health. An area of the home where you groom yourself, such as the bathroom or kitchen.
You can also use a compass and a Lo Shu square to determine a favorable sector in the apartment. So, in the southeast there is an area of wealth, and in the southwest there is a zone responsible for harmony in family relationships. Thus, you must decide what is missing in your life.
Colors and elements
To attract additional energy to one or another area of life, you can highlight the desired nails with the colors of the corresponding elements. Thus, the elements of Wood belong to colors and shades in the range of green and blue, as well as brown, black and all natural colors. A successful combination would be a combination of two shades of green and one shade of blue (The tree feeds on water). The element of Fire is characterized by all shades of red, bright orange, red-violet. By choosing harmonious shades, you can combine the colors of this element with the color scheme of Wood (Wood gives life to Fire).
The element of Earth is represented by yellow-brown, green and golden colors in various shades. A successful combination would be their combination with shades of Fire (Earth receives energy from Fire). The element of Metal is characterized by metallic colors - silver, copper, gold, etc., as well as white, gray, black, muted shades of yellow, brownish. They need to be combined with the colors of the Earth (Earth creates Metal). Water is characterized by all shades of blue - blue, lilac-lilac, indigo, etc. They can be combined with the colors of the Metal element (Water receives energy from Metal).
Personal element
If we paint our nails according to Feng Shui, it’s a good idea to know your personal element in order to use its colors in your design. The best thing to do is to determine your element using special tables. There is also a simple method based on the last digit of the year of birth (for those born before February 20, you need to look at the last digit of the previous year of birth). If your numbers correspond to 0 or 1, use the colors of the Metal element for design; 2 or 3 – make a coating in the color scheme of the element of Water; 4 or 5 – stock up on varnishes according to the colors of the Wood element; 6 or 7 – use the colors of the Fire element; 8 or 9 – make nail art in the colors of the Earth.
Determining the elements before painting your nails
The last digit of the year of your birth will tell you which of the five elements you belong to. Well, for example, if you were born in 1980, then the number by which you need to determine the element will be “0”. If the year of birth is 1976, then “6” and so on. I think this is all clear. Next, look below to see what element is “yours”.
0-1– Metal (symbolizes entrepreneurship and success)
2-3 –Water (symbolizes prosperity and purification)
4-5 – Tree (development and creativity, symbolizes hardness and flexibility at the same time)
6-7 – Fire (strength and activity)
8-9 – Earth (stability, reliability)
Metal Colors
White, silver, steel, yellow, brown. Nail designs: coins, arcs. You can decorate your nails with foil, glitter, and beads.
Colors of Water
All shades of blue and cyan, white, gray. Lilac or violet. Nail designs: droplets, waves, fish, etc.
Tree Colors
Green and all its shades, blue, cyan, black. Drawings: grass, cobwebs, leaves, butterflies, twigs, flowers.
Colors of Fire
Sure, red, orange, purple, bright yellow, gold. Nail designs: flames, sun, rays. Decorations: rhinestones, sparkles.
Colors of the Earth
Not very bright shades of brown, yellow, beige are suitable. Muted reds (terracotta, for example) or pinks. Drawing: you can use special sand or draw stones.
Only each element has a rather narrow palette of colors. And if you want to diversify your manicure, you can choose the color that you like best, based on its meaning.
Additional Tips
- The principles of Feng Shui in manicure can be combined with fashion trends of 2021. The design of your nails will be especially relevant in delicate pastel colors, in metallic colors using the “chasing” technique, in “wet” painting, in designs with a stone effect and inlaid with colorless rhinestones.
- To attract love, money, luck, etc. You can use not only colors, but also symbolic designs, and also decorate your nails with hieroglyphs. You can place drawings on one or two nails, which we highlight, and it is better to highlight one finger on each hand with hieroglyphs.
- When doing a manicure according to Feng Shui, use colors that are in harmony with each other. Even completely multi-colored nails should not irritate you - buy pastel-colored varnishes for this case or select well-combined shades.
- The specialty of the science of Feng Shui is the order, harmony and clean space necessary for the free circulation of energies. Manicure should be approached according to the same principles: before applying varnish, nails should be thoroughly cleaned, strengthened and filed. You should not paint a different color over a strictly layer of varnish - each time start your manicure with a complete cleansing.
