What does it mean to paint nails in feng shui? The photos below demonstrate a variant of such a manicure. At first glance, this is just coloring the nails in different colors. This is partly true, only colors should be chosen according to certain principles.
The essence of Feng Shui teachings is to give energy the right direction with the help of certain rules. For example, food served on a black plate contributes to financial success. That is, the combination of black and food attracts money.
According to the teaching, each part of the body has its own meaning, including fingers. If you somehow select the right part of the body, then you can attract the appropriate energy. No luck in love? Try to redden your ring finger. Let's figure out how to paint feng shui nails to attract the necessary changes in life.
Who is responsible for what?
We need to take into account the “area of responsibility” of each finger if we are painting nails in feng shui. The meaning of the fingers on the right and left hand is shown below.
Finger value| Finger | Left hand | Right hand |
| Big | Brainwork. Here, all your good luck in work and business, discoveries, plans and calculations, successful transactions, etc. Physical and mental health also applies here. | Vain hopes, misunderstanding, anxiety. |
| Pointing | Ambition will help you gain strength and power. But this finger also has less pleasant “wards”: pride, selfishness, dissatisfaction with oneself and others. | Fear, uncertainty, unjustified risk. |
| Average | Sexual life, as well as resentment, a tendency to quarrel, anger. | Touchiness. But also sexuality! |
| Nameless | New relationships, friendship, sexual relations, dating. | Disappointment, loneliness. |
| Little finger | Peace of mind, peace, family ties. | Gossip, cheating, cheating, flattery. |
Color and Element
To paint the nails according to Feng Shui by all the rules, to select the right finger, you should choose a color that matches your element. It is determined by the last digit of the year of your birth. For example, if you were born in 1985, then your element is a tree.
Matching colors and decorative elements to the elements| Last digit | Element | Colors | Decorative elements |
| 0 and 1 | Metal | All metallic, white. | Sequins, beads, foil, rivets, shiny patterns (lines and circles). |
| 2 and 3 | Water | Black, colors from dark blue to pale blue, lilac. Lucky Chameleons. | Drawings of fish, frogs, stars. |
| 4 and 5 | Tree | Transparent varnishes. White and skin colors. Also blue-blue range, green shades, black color. | Drawings of plants, cobwebs, butterflies. |
| 6 and 7 | Fire | Red and its shades. Any bright colors. | Drawings of geometric shapes, butterflies, flames, sun. |
| 8 and 9 | Land | Brown and yellowish shades (terracotta, beige, ocher). You can use red and pink colors. | Drawings of pebbles, bricks, droplets. |
As we can see from the tables above, to make a manicure in accordance with the principles of Feng Shui, you should paint your nails in one color, with the exception of those that bring good luck in those areas of life that currently excite most. It is not necessary to highlight the nails with a varnish of a different color. You can use drawings or overhead elements.
Well, now we figured out how to paint feng shui nails. In conclusion, I want to remind you that no matter how much you want to attract good luck, you should know the measure. Screaming, vulgar colors are not always appropriate. And the use of incompatible colors is completely contrary to the principles of Feng Shui.
