It is lucky -

"To have white specks on one's finger nails shews that happiness is in store. These specks are sometimes called "gifts".

" A gift on the thumb is sure to come,
A gift on the finger is sure to linger."

Or they may be thus enumerated :

" A gift, a friend, a foe,
A lover to come, a journey to go."

Hewett 1900
