The basis for creating a Feng Shui manicure remains classic - this is a hygienic manicure of your choice. Different colors are the key element here.

Secondly, it all depends on the preferences of the client - what aspect of life you would like to influence positively. And finally, the third factor is the fingers. Each finger has its own meaning. And, most interestingly, there are significant differences between the fingers of the right and left hands.

Traditionally, five elements are distinguished: earth, water, fire, metal and wood.This is the quintessence that masters rely on when creating a Feng Shui manicure. The main thing is to determine your element, because each corresponds to a set of certain properties. Also, each element has its own “elemental color”, with which the master highlights one or two fingers, in addition to the main shades.

Calculating a number is very easy. For this, a special formula was invented. It is necessary to take the year of your birth, subtract 4 from the last two digits. The result of the calculations must be divided by 9. The remainder of the division will become your element number. If the remainder is zero, the elemental number will be 9.

Accordingly, when choosing colors, it is better to give preference to "water" shades: blue and blue characterize calmness, white color - purity and simplicity, black - practicality. You can also use drawings and patterns related to water: waves, marine life, snowflakes and drops.

According to the laws of Feng Shui, the right hand is considered the "giving" hand. That is, through it, your positive energy flows out and returns to your left hand with a vengeance. Therefore, the left hand is the "receiving". Connoisseurs of the doctrine believe that the right hand is dominant and the meaning of the fingers on it is much more important, and the left hand only serves as a reflection of the right.
