How fashionable to paint nails? Recently, nails painted in different shades according to a special system look very relevant. One option is especially popular: two nails of the right hand, on the middle finger and ring finger, are distinguished by a color different from the main one. You can also often see an option when only the ring finger is highlighted.
It is believed that this method brings good luck and happiness, this is a Feng Shui manicure. However, this method of painting nails was not invented at all by Feng Shui masters, but by specialists in the lacquer industry. According to one version, its author is Christina Fitzgerald, a famous manicurist who follows the principles of Feng Shui in everyday life. According to another version, this method was offered in one of the salons, demonstrating it at Fashion Week in New York. The extravagant asymmetrical coloring of the nails was liked by the public and gradually spread throughout the world. Today, the usual way - all nails in one color - is considered boring among advanced varnish lovers. Feng Shui manicure is chosen, first of all, forthat it's beautiful. Glitter or complex exquisite pattern on all nails? This is kitsch. But to select two nails in an appropriate way - this will revive the manicure, and at the same time will not overload it.
At the same time, many girls who paint their nails according to Feng Shui are not familiar with the principles of this teaching, and most importantly, with the fact that Feng Shui involves an individual approach. Have you painted your nails pale blue, and highlighted two fingers with sunny yellow? From an aesthetic point of view, it is beautiful, and reminds of a sunny day and a clear cloudless sky. But if at the same time you did not take into account your own relationship with the elements, then such a manicure has nothing to do with Feng Shui. To attract good luck and success with the help of color, you need to draw up an individual card that will demonstrate your own, personal, needs for certain colors. Such a map is compiled according to the time and place of birth and may suggest that the color of the sun on your nails is completely useless to you. Perhaps, in order to attract happiness and success, it is you who need to strengthen the element of fire. And this means that in your life (not just manicures) you need to add glowing red tones. In addition, Feng Shui is a rather extensive science about the ability to live in harmony with the outside world. It involves working not only with the color and arrangement of objects around you, but also on yourself.
At the same time, it cannot be said that the Feng Shui manicure has nothing to do with this science at all. If he pleases you,brings positive emotions, it will really attract good luck and success, because our life is created by our thoughts. Below are the details to help you create this beautiful manicure with more individuality and thought.
How to paint your nails according to Feng Shui?
There are many different ways, the most popular of which is highlighting the ring and middle fingers with a different color. Why this particular combination? The ring finger is a conductor of solar energy, that is, the energy on which all other planets depend. Another, no less favorable object is responsible for the middle finger - the planet Saturn, the planet of winners. It is assumed that by highlighting these two fingers in a different color, you will pay attention to them more often and, thus, stimulate the flow of energy that brings good luck in business and in love.
It is better to highlight the nails with color on the right hand, since it is considered to be giving. Energy flows from the right hand to the left.
What feng shui energy processes trigger different fingers?
Right hand:
- The thumb is the planet Mars, which is responsible not only for physical he alth, but also for the strength of the mind.
- Index - strength and power. Planet - Jupiter.
- Average - we alth, well-being, for which Saturn is responsible.
- Nameless - love and family. Sun.
- Little finger - creativity, soul, love. Planet - Mercury.
The left hand is the same aspects, but in a negative way. For example, the index finger of the left hand is self-doubt, and the ring finger is loneliness.
Of course, this is a rather simplistic view of things. If there is a deep interest, then it is better to get acquainted with the special literature. The impact of the planets is much more complicated than it seems at first glance.
Feng Shui nails - choose the best color
Feng Shui polish color is the color of your element. Oddly enough, we usually feel drawn to the colors of our element, but this is not always the case. You can define your element in a simplified way: you need to take the last digit of the year of your birth. The numbers 0 and 1 are metal, choose white and any metallic shades, as well as uncompromising yellows and oranges. If the year of birth ends in 2 or 3, for example, you were born in 1982, then your element is water. Your shades are blues and blacks. White and metallic are acceptable. The numbers 4 and 5 are wood, their tones are green, black. The numbers 6 and 7 symbolize fire, respectively, and the tones of the varnish must be selected fiery. It can be not only red shades, but also any bright, glowing colors. The element of people born in years ending in the numbers 8 and 9 is earth. They suit yellow, brown, natural pink or red tones.
The colors of Feng Shui manicure polishes can be contrasting (red - green) or from the same color range, differing only in tone or shade, for example, pale blue and pale lilac. It is important that they look harmonious and match each other in character. If you doubt your sense of color, then you canrefer to color tables or learn from nature, which does not pick up bad colors. It is important to know that a color has four characteristics: gamma (red, green, etc.), undertone (the presence of another color in the main color, say, pink may contain a proportion of orange, purple, gray, etc.), saturation (light, dark), tone (bright, dull).
You can choose any colors for highlighting, preferably according to their emotional meaning. Cold colors soothe, while warm ones awaken and enhance the energy of one or another finger.
Some tips for a beautiful feng shui manicure
The most important thing is to choose colors that blend well, and this is also a whole science called coloring.
However, if you do not complicate, then there are win-win color combinations with which it is impossible to make a mistake. The ideal partner for any color is the opposite shade in the color spectrum (yellow - purple, blue - orange, green - red). The combination of opposite colors always contains some kind of drama, at the same time very attractive to human eyes.
It is not necessary to highlight nails with color, it can be any interesting design solution, decor, drawings.
As you can see, Feng Shui nails are any multi-color manicure that you like.
