Wondering how to manifest your future? You might want to consider changing up your nail polish colours.
Yes, really! According to colour and glamour magic (yep, that’s the real name for this phenomenon), each shade has a different spiritual meaning and can therefore help you visualize and manifest your future from your fingertips.
How do I know? Well, I asked the experts, for one, but have also experienced it firsthand (literally). Two years ago I stopped connecting to the pale pink colour I’d worn on my nails for years, and felt that my mani—and life—needed an energetic overhaul. Seeking answers, I googled “manifestation manicures,” wondering if certain nail polish colours could, in theory, help me manifest, or visualise, the future I wanted—similar to a mood board.
My initial findings on dated “colour magic” web forums confirmed my suspicion that colours were known for their unique meanings. Enthused, I chose bright yellow, which is known for optimism and joy, adding a smiley face to each ring finger. And the rest is history. Since that manicure—and intentionally experimenting with colours—my luck has changed in the absolute best way.
How? Well, my schedule magically aligned with an opportunity to fly home to visit family; I finally beat my 5K running time after months of training; and I started interviewing for my dream job…that I ended up getting. Of course, it could be a coincidence, or it could be that seeing that jovial hue on my hands every day brightened my mood, making things seem better. Whatever the case, I’m officially a “manifestation manicure” convert, and I asked actual experts about the method so you can try it too.

What is manifestation?
Manifesting is the act of visualising what you want to happen in real life, such as getting into your dream graduate program, negotiating a higher salary, or meeting your soulmate (Megan Fox insists she manifested her fiancé). Imagining your ideal future as real makes your goals feel closer and more attainable, which, in theory, inspires you to take action to achieve them.
“Manifestation is the purpose of thinking thoughts that you want to attain in real life. If thinking can make you a believer, then anything can happen—including your dreams,” astrologer Lisa Stardust explains. That said, Stardust says many people don’t realise that the simple act of thinking something doesn’t necessarily make it come true. “For instance, you have to do the daily work needed. Many people meditate on their aspirations twice a day for 30 minutes, or they journal their goals daily to mark progress, while some create a vision board to ensure they are always looking at their hopes.”
