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.
Feng Shui manicure and nail shape
Feng Shui manicure focuses on rounded and not very long nails. Sharp corners can “cut” positive energy, and energy is lost through long nails. But it’s still worth considering your element:
- Representatives of Fire are best suited for long square nails, ballerina or almond nails.
- For Metal , a rounded or clear square is suitable, ballerina, longer than average length
- On Earth, on the contrary – short nails, a circle or oval, let’s say a soft square
- Only a rounded shape of medium length is suitable for wood
- For Water – short or medium length nails, without sharp corners
Important: But do not forget to take into account the length and thickness of the fingers, the shape of the cuticle - it determines when determining the shape.
Also take into account your shape of nails and fingers

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.
Additional Tips
- The principles of Feng Shui in manicure can be combined with fashion trends of 2022. 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.
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.
Floral design
A variety of flower arrangements look spectacular on nails at any time of the year and under any circumstances, because it is simply impossible to meet a woman or girl who is indifferent to this diversity of the world of floristry. You can give preference to a single design in the style of minimalism, or vice versa, decorate your nails with an original composition of a plot nature, when the details of the design are not repeated, but are a continuation of each other. A few shiny stones, pearl hemispheres or a few touches of glitter and the masterpiece is ready to captivate those around you.
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.

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.
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.
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.
