Many centuries ago, long, well-groomed nails were a sign of nobility. After all, only representatives of the nobility could afford not to engage in manual labor. Thus was born the belief that a broken nail is a harbinger of deterioration in material well-being.
Nowadays, the presence of a manicure and long nails will no longer surprise anyone, but superstitions about this matter still remain.
The shape and color of nails, for example, can tell about a person’s health and character. The bad habit of biting nails, according to our ancestors, is a constant companion of energetically weak people who are haunted by failures and disappointments throughout life.
At the same time, for a young single girl, constantly breaking nails are a sign that it is time for her to get married.
On the left hand
Breaking a nail on your left hand is generally a good omen. This means that all obstacles to your success have disappeared. Nothing will stop you from realizing your plans now. But the sign has a caveat: if you notice a small white spot on a broken nail, get ready for unforeseen situations in your business.
If several nails on your left hand were damaged at once, you are too impatient and want to get everything at once. Don't count on quick results. To get what you want, you will need a lot of time, hard work and effort.
It is important to note that the interpretation of the sign will differ depending on which finger you broke the nail on.
- Thumb.
- Forefinger.
- Middle finger.
- Ring finger.
- Little finger.

Why does a nail break?
From time immemorial, people of various nationalities associate the right side of the body with something good, which cannot be said about the left side. In Christianity, for example, it is believed that the devil sits on a person’s left shoulder and tempts him in every possible way, while the guardian angel sitting on the right shoulder tries to guide his ward on the path of righteousness.
In the case of nails, interpretations change radically. What matters more here is the finger on which the nail is broken, not the hand. Esotericists of different eras believed that a person has energy points throughout his body. Each of them is responsible for its own sphere of influence.
On the thumb
The thumb is so named not only for its size, but also for its strength and significance. It represents a kind of symbol of determination, perseverance in achieving what you want and willpower. When interpreting a broken nail on the big toe, they largely rely on this kind of symbolism.
Possible meanings of the sign:
- A broken nail on the finger of the right hand means that the fulfillment of an old dream is in jeopardy. You should think about what could cause failure. It may be worth changing the approach to implementing plans. On the other hand, it may be better to postpone grandiose undertakings for a while and wait a little.
- A broken nail on the right thumb foreshadows the successful implementation of close-up plans. All the obstacles that previously prevented you from achieving what you wanted will no longer pose the former threat.
- A sign can mean the disappearance from the constant circle of friends of a person who has significantly spoiled life. A colleague with whom the relationship is not going well may change jobs. Or perhaps the unpleasant neighbor will soon move. In any case, such a breakdown foreshadows liberation from many unpleasant situations associated with the tiresome obsession of someone you know.
On the right hand
When a person's nails break, this is not a pleasant phenomenon. But if the nails break on the right hand, in addition to discomfort, this also carries a bad omen.
The sign in this case foreshadows complete failures and the collapse of all plans.
If you manage to break several nails on your right hand, then the negative meaning of the sign increases significantly. This may mean that you have chosen the wrong path and you urgently need to change something in your life.
To determine why the nail on the right hand breaks, it is important to consider which finger the nail broke on.
- Thumb.
- Forefinger.
- Middle finger.
- Ring finger.
- Little finger.
If the nail on the thumb of your right hand is broken, then the sign promises you big problems. The business you have started is doomed to failure. Fortune has turned its back on you and the situation is unlikely to change for the better in the near future.
Just as the nail on this finger is damaged, your reputation may also be damaged. You risk losing authority in the eyes of colleagues and loved ones. Problems can also affect your personal life. You are in a losing position in some important matter.
A difficult road awaits you. The business trip will be accompanied by many obstacles. A trip on vacation is filled with minor troubles that will unsettle you and ruin the impression of the entire trip.
Breaking a nail on the ring finger of the right hand means conflicts with relatives. The sign promises misunderstanding in relationships with loved ones - discontent, reproaches and resentment.
This nail on the right hand breaks to losses. You risk losing a large sum of money. It may also portend a serious quarrel with a loved one or close friend.
How to prevent negativity
—
The worst thing is to break a nail at Epiphany. They say that in this case a long series of failures awaits the person. It is especially dangerous to break the middle finger of your left hand. To protect yourself from negativity, stand in front of a mirror and spin around your axis clockwise three times. Only after this will you be able to prevent the negative influence of the sign on yourself. If you are a religious person, then the best thing to do is visit a church and pray.
There is also another sign: if a girl’s nails constantly break, then soon she will definitely meet her chosen one. A strong and respectable man is waiting for you, who will become a stone wall for you. Keep in mind that brittle nails can be not only a folk sign - perhaps you simply have a metabolic disorder or not enough calcium in your body.
The meaning of fingers in esotericism
Each finger, from an esoteric point of view, has its own energetic meaning and sphere of influence.
The thumb symbolizes the mind, intentions of a person, his perseverance and willpower. This finger is an indicator of a person’s vitality and energy, characterizing his goals and desires.
The index finger is responsible for power and influence over people. With this finger we seem to give orders - we point to what we need. We threaten them if our will is not fulfilled. This finger symbolizes a person’s leadership qualities, his determination and control over the situation.
The middle finger represents a person’s life path, his destiny. This finger is responsible for a person’s personal qualities, spirituality and purpose, as well as his conscience and moral principles.
The ring finger is a symbol of the sphere of heart affairs and health. It is not for nothing that a wedding ring is usually worn on this finger. He is responsible for relationships with loved ones, family affairs, love and fidelity.
The little finger is responsible for unexpected turns of fate, gifts and surprises. This finger is identified with changes and fateful events. It is also an indicator of your sociability, friendliness and openness to the world.
What to expect from superstition
In the old days, if a nail broke, the omen was interpreted in two aspects: good and bad. It all depended on which hand and finger it happened on.
If suddenly all the nails began to crack and break off, people believed that the girl would soon meet her betrothed. So, higher powers gave a sign - a reliable person will appear in life who will become a strong patron for many years. Such a girl herself no longer needs to fight her way through thorns to the stars; fate will reward her in full.
White spots on nails: the meaning of signs
Often you can see small white spots of different shapes on the nail plates. Doctors say that this is due to objective processes occurring in the body.
And superstitious people, in turn, attribute their own meaning to the white spots on their nails. There are many signs associated with this phenomenon among people, so it is important to take into account which finger the white mark appeared on.
White spots on the thumb portend profit. This could be a valuable gift or bonus. Another meaning of the sign is getting a good promising position with a high salary.
On the index finger - to melancholy and sadness. This sign also indicates loneliness and the need to care for loved ones.
The middle finger may become covered with white spots before making a large purchase. The sign promises joy. The more spots appear on the nail plate, the more joy awaits you.
Marks on the ring finger warn of trouble. These spots can indicate serious discord in the family, including divorce, problems with self-realization, and financial difficulties. To avoid problems in the future, it is urgent to cut this nail.
White spots on the little finger portend mutual love, strong friendship or a pleasant trip. A mark on this finger can be a harbinger of a meeting with your soulmate and even an imminent wedding. However, such spots may appear after experiencing stress from some kind of conflict situation.
It should also be mentioned that the appearance of white marks on the nails of a sick person indicates his speedy recovery.
Three spots on different nail plates of one hand portend great success and luck in the business you have started. The same three spots on the nail plates of different hands are a bad sign, indicating the onset of a series of problems and troubles at work.
How to cut your nails according to the days of the week
From the perspective of esoteric teachings, you should carefully choose the day of the week for cutting your nails:
- Monday. By cutting his nails on this day, a person gets rid of sorrows and sorrows along with them;
- Tuesday. Cutting the nail plate promises protection from troubles;
- Cutting your nails on Wednesday means bringing order to your head and thoughts;
- Thursday. Trimming your nails will increase your authority in the eyes of people and gain self-confidence;
- It was believed that if you cut your nails on Friday, you could gain excess weight in the near future, so you should refrain from this idea;
- Trimming your fingernails and toenails on Saturday will help improve your health and make new pleasant acquaintances;
- Sunday. It is not advisable to get a manicure on this day - there is a high probability of bringing bad luck into your life.
Crack under gel coating
In order to glue the nail under the gel polish, you need to remove the polish. You don’t have to remove all your fingers, limit yourself to just the broken nail, and leave the rest alone. For removal, use special means for removing Shellac or biogel, depending on the coating of the nail. If you can’t remove the gel polish, you can glue a patch over the old coating.
A “patch” is applied to the place where the nail is broken
The technique of applying a patch to gel polish is the same as for a natural nail, and it is covered with a new varnish, which is dried under a UV lamp. For home repairs using gel technology, you need a UV lamp and gel polish.
If the crack is located along the edge of the nail, then it can be cut off and rebuilt with biogel.
. To do this, use a special form or foil, which is placed under the nail and used as a support for applying the biogel. After the biogel hardens under a UV lamp, the foil is carefully removed.
How to build up a broken nail with biogel or a rubber-based base coat, see the video instructions:
Choosing a nail shape
It seems that we choose the shape of our nails intuitively, but this is also of great importance. If a girl’s personal life is not going well, then her manicure may be to blame for the problem. This seems stupid, but in fact there is part of the problem here too.
If you want to find your soul mate and start a family, it is recommended to have rounded nails. At the same time, the situation in your personal life is not of fundamental importance at the moment. You may be in a relationship or looking for your happiness.
If you dream of achieving great success in your professional career, then give preference to a square manicure. It is important to make clear corners.
A triangular manicure is suitable for those girls who have one clear goal. All energy in this case will be directed towards its implementation.

for nail repair on an adhesive basis. - Glue
for natural and artificial nails. - File
and buffer for natural and artificial nails. - Any disinfectant

What to expect when a nail breaks
Long, well-groomed nails, so beloved by today's beauties, were also valued in former times. And not only due to their mystical properties. Simple logic dictates that only representatives of the nobility and people of science who were not engaged in manual labor could afford a neat manicure. For them, nails served as an additional sign of high origin, like the long sleeves of boyar fur coats and the snow-white faces of noblewomen, and any “breakage” became an extremely unpleasant event. Let us remember that a cracked nail is sometimes also very painful, and it will become clear: such an event could not possibly go unnoticed. And for a superstitious person, accustomed to seeing signs in every sneeze, even more so. Everything that happened next was carefully remembered, analyzed, and a new sign came to light. Oddly enough, she could be both good and evil.
Signs for left and right hands
If you are interested in signs, then you have heard more than once that the right side of the body is considered generous for good predictions, since there is an angel behind it, and the left side, which hides the trait behind it, is considered generous for bad ones. But it’s not the same with nails! The best predictions are made by the left hand. This is because a cracked nail symbolizes broken plans: on the right side - good angelic plans, on the left - evil plans of evil spirits.
If a white spot is found on the affected nail, it is in any case considered an indication that current events will not end as you expect.
On the thumb
It is not for nothing that this finger is called “big”. It symbolizes willpower, perseverance in achieving goals, our desires, plans and aspirations.
- A broken nail on the finger of your right hand is a sign that some of your plans are in jeopardy. Either think about them more carefully, or delay implementing them.
- A damaged nail on your left hand means: the obstacles that stood in your way are broken and nothing stands in the way of fulfilling your plans.
- From the point of view of modern esotericists, an “accident” with a nail warns that you are taking on too much. Your motto, by any chance, is not “If you want it done well, do it yourself?” Relax and let others take on some of your responsibilities, and at the same time get rid of the habit of achieving perfection in everything! The hour is not certain, you will break yourself.
Other, less common beliefs predict a great happy event or the disappearance from your life of a person with whom communication brings unpleasant experiences. Maybe an old enemy will change his place of residence and move to distant lands, or an annoying neighbor will suddenly stop bothering you with conversations?
On the index
As the name implies, this finger exists to point with authority, distribute tasks and sternly threaten careless performers. It is easy to guess that he is responsible for authority and leadership habits.
- If you are a manager, a broken nail on your right finger is interpreted as a decrease in your importance in the eyes of the team or the emergence of a new disobedient employee. If you yourself obey someone, the sign promises difficulties in the service. You will definitely overcome them, just do not fall into despondency, the likelihood of which is hinted at by the incident.
- Although the nail on the left hand predicts approximately the same development of events, it adds that it will benefit you. Maybe the bad employee will actually turn out to be a responsible guy who found a way to modernize the work and just didn’t have time to explain his idea to you. Or you yourself will show stubbornness and stop listening to the one who has been manipulating you for a long time.
- Esotericists disagree about the index finger. Some believe that a broken nail advises not to try to insist on your own so often where you can easily do without it. Stop beating those around you or you will be left without friends! Others consider this event a sign of people's respect for your experience and advice. Reflect on your behavior and you will understand which interpretation is correct.
On average
In the world of symbols and signs, this finger represents your conscience. And also moral principles and intuition.
- A nail on the right hand, it is not entirely clear why, means a long and difficult road and financial difficulties.
- On the left - the path, although long, is pleasant. And also a risk that, if you decide to take, you can win big. But don’t rush headlong into gambling and scams!
It turns out that the nail broke by pure chance, and you are already without money, in debt and with a ruined manicure... - From an esoteric point of view, the sign indicates your nervous and emotional exhaustion, as well as a feeling of guilt, which you have given free rein to recently. Stop beating yourself up! And take a closer look at those around you. There is someone very close to you who is ready to surround you with warmth and care, and you don’t even suspect it.
On the nameless
Don't be upset, it's fortunate!
The finger that is trusted to wear a wedding ring simply cannot help but communicate matters of the heart. These are your feelings, emotions and relationships with the people closest to you.
- A broken nail on the right hand means a quarrel with your significant other or, if she is not around yet, with your parents.
- The left nail suffered in an attempt to convey good news to you. Moreover, it will be connected either with a person dear to you or with money.
- Esotericists call a broken nail a sign of your lack of self-confidence, your attractiveness to the opposite sex or to your partner. Maybe it's time to do something about your complexes?
Sometimes the middle finger is associated with health. Broken nail on your right hand? Expect illness. On the left - healing. Or, let’s say, you will have the opportunity to go to a good sanatorium.
On the little finger
The smallest fingers are your ability to communicate and make new friends. Isn’t this where the children’s saying “make up, make up and don’t fight anymore,” which is said by clasping your little fingers, comes from? Broken nails on these fingers are also associated with unexpected turns in fate.
- Broke a nail on your right hand? Signs threaten you with misunderstandings in the family or loss of money. For girls, the prediction has an especially high chance of coming true! A good manicure is expensive, you will have to renew it, but whether your spouse will understand such expenses is a big question.
- Cracked nail on your left hand? Wait for the emergence of a new strong feeling or the arrival of welcome guests.
Other interpretations
There are no clear meanings for signs associated with nails. Each case is interpreted taking into account many nuances. One of the general meanings of the omen: a lonely girl who has started having problems with her nails is promised a quick meeting with her future husband.
Troubles with nails on the right and left hands also have different meanings. This is due to the well-established idea that a messenger of the devil is hiding behind a person’s left shoulder and is trying with all his might to harm him. On the other hand, behind the right shoulder, there is a guardian angel whose task is to help and guide in difficult life situations.
A broken nail on the left hand is a good omen. It is believed that it means the failure of the insidious plans of dark forces. You can safely take on any planned tasks: nothing will interfere with the implementation of your plans. If several nails break at once, this may mean a person’s desire to cheat, to get something without making enough effort. You should think about your actions, and in some aspects make more efforts, treat things with diligence.
If the nail on your right hand breaks off, then this is a bad sign. It serves as a warning that a person’s attention is concentrated not on important things, but on some meaningless little things. This is a reason to think about your priorities and desires. Perhaps they are the cause of all the troubles that happen in life. Fate thus gives a chance to correct the current situation.
If trouble happened to your thumb, then this may indicate that the person who has bothered you will finally leave you alone. It could also be a change of place of residence. That is, the situation will lead to a decrease in negative situations by eliminating the annoying person. Some interpretations say that an accident with the thumb can lead to unexpected happiness. This could be winning the lottery, meeting the person you want, or a nice gift.
The index finger speaks of a person's authority. Leadership qualities, will, and power are sharpened here. According to esoteric knowledge, the nails on these fingers break only in authoritarian individuals who very actively express their opinions and put pressure on the people around them. Other experts say that the person has developed leadership qualities. In any case, the interpretation must be carried out individually, since each person has his own life and its aspects.
The middle fingers reflect feelings and emotions. Here, a broken nail signals emotional instability, mental grief, guilt, and deep depression. If the nail on the middle finger breaks frequently, the situation can lead to a serious spiritual crisis. You are alone and do not have someone nearby who can support you. According to other interpretations, the middle finger reflects the state of a person’s health.
Little fingers symbolize friendship and mutual understanding with the outside world. When people want to make peace, they join their little fingers together, promising not to quarrel anymore. They can talk about serious turns of fate, both positive and negative actions.
