Kicking off my monthly Nail Files; I'm excited to start off the top of the year with none other than my birthstone as the inspo for January's design. I have a Nail Stylist by the name of Sharisse at Salon Couture who just gets me. I will toss out an idea and she takes the inspo and runs wit hit. Being as though this is my birthday month, I said...gimme Alluring Garnet on these heaux!

As the official gemstone for January; the Garnet signifies love, protection, friendship and trust amongst the many definitions found. How fitting :) I appreciate the shade being as though RED is one of my favorite colors and so the pomergranate shade represents energy, passion and self-confidence due to the boldness of the shade.

I was leery on the purple being combo'd with red but after letting go of the fear and just trusting my stylist- I loved the contrast. It flows with the theme and I knew I wanted to add the sparkle to give the Ruby Red Slipper effect and it was chef's kiss!!
The personality traits of Garnet lean towards being a born leader...oooh I can so relate! The strengths of this gemstone include being ambitious and hard-working as well as organized, sensitive and observant. Yes, Aquarians are sensitive-JUST in a different way ;)

According to Indian astrology, garnet helps eliminate negative feelings (depression, guilt) and instill greater self-confidence and mental clarity to promote creative thinking and peace of mind. In ancient and medieval times, gems like garnet were also thought to be remedies for inflammatory diseases and to soothe the angry heart.
In conclusion, January’s nails inspired by my birthstone, symbolizes protection, passion, and prosperity. Its rich hues and timeless beauty make it a cherished gemstone, perfect for celebrating new beginnings and honoring those born in the first month of the year. I've grown to appreciate this gem for its meaning, as garnet continues to inspire and captivate across cultures and centuries making it timeless.
