Can you really manifest by choosing the right nail polish color?

"Green is the new black" we predicted back in March, but we didn’t know it would become something bigger. Choosing green nail polish has become a true form of self-expression. The green nail theory, which exploded on TikTok, suggests that wearing nails in this shade can literally attract luck, love, new opportunities, and especially money.

The green nail theory

The green nail theory has become a real trend on social media, but there’s much more behind this trend. The green color has always been associated with positive and growth concepts, both psychologically and symbolically. In many spiritual traditions and manifestation practices, green represents prosperity, rebirth, and a connection with nature. Wearing it is not just an aesthetic act, but also a small ritual that opens us up to what we want to attract into our lives. Green is also known for its calming effect, fostering a sense of serenity and balance. Sure, a manicure won’t miraculously make you win the lottery, but it will definitely help you feel more in tune with your intentions. A small gesture that, day by day, can have a surprisingly positive impact on your energy and even on how you face life.

The color theory

Perhaps it’s because it’s spring and green is the color of this season, but other colors can help you manifest as well. Each shade has its own meaning and unique energy that can influence our mood and, consequently, what we attract. For example, red is perfect for stimulating passion, motivation, and courage, while yellow is associated with abundance, success, and happiness. Blue, on the other hand, promotes calm, serenity, and open, sincere communication. White is the color of purity and new beginnings, ideal when you want to let go of the past and open yourself to a better future. Purple, symbolizing creativity and intuition, is perfect for those seeking a spiritual awakening or for those looking to manifest their dreams and goals, such as artistic projects. Pink, in contrast, is the color of love in all its forms: from romantic love to self-love. And then there’s black, often underestimated but incredibly powerful when it comes to transformation and energy protection: a color that can help you protect yourself as you work on your goals.
