Complete Dictionary of Dreams

by Dr. Mıchael Lennox
A manicure highlights the fingertips.

The fingers connect to creativity and the things you can do with your gifts and talents. To dream of a manicure is to seek a certain amount of recognition for these abilities and to be recognized as someone who can be productive. There is also an association with a manicure to prosperity and the relief of stress, so a dream that features one could be indicating a need to relax in this way.

The Complete Guide to Interpreting Your Dreams

by Stearn Robinson - Tom Corbett
If you are in the habit of being manicured, the dream has no significance, unless there was something unusual about it, in which case the unusual aspect must be analyzed to determine the meaning.

If you are not in the habit of getting manicures, then the dream is warning you to conserve your resources, as you are likely to have to meet some exceptional expense shortly.
