Manicure

Manicure is one of the most popular queries in our Chinese Fortune Calendar, ahead of many financial matters. Well-groomed hands are something people notice straight away, so it is natural to want a manicure on a lucky day. In Chinese date selection, nail care, like a haircut, belongs to the activities of "trimming away the excess" and renewal.

A good day for a manicure means careful work by the technician, a finish that lasts and a feeling of being attractive. On an unfavourable day the risk of cuts, an unsuccessful design or quick chipping goes up.

What the query covers:

• classic, machine and combined manicures;
• pedicures;
• gel polish application and removal;
• nail extensions and infills;
• nail design and nail art;
• home care: filing, cuticle care, trimming nails.

When to use a different query:

• cutting your hair: "haircut";
• colouring your hair: "hair coloring";
• facial and skin treatments: "visit to beautician";
• removing body hair: "depilation";
• massage, body wraps, hand and body skin care: "body care" or "Spa treatments".

How the Calendar rates the day. For a manicure the favourable Day Officers are Full, Control, Balance, Destruction, Success, Establish and Remove. The unfavourable ones are Close, Danger, Open, Collect and Stable. Among the lunar mansions, Maiden, Star, Well, Bow, Horn, Wall and Guardian are good, for example, while Ox, Ghost, Wing, Astride, Danger, Pleiades and Void are unfavourable. As with a haircut, the Separating Day helps here, because a manicure is also a "trimming away of the excess". The day is supported by the Flower of Romance, the Wizard of Love, the Star of Heavenly Happiness and the Heavenly Doctor Star. It is weakened by the Disease Star, the Death Angel, Calamity Sha and the Day of Lost Time.
