Birthstone nails are trending, and our favorite stars are crushing it with their own interpretations of it! Personally, I’m a fan because my childhood dream job was to be a gemologist — no, I’m not kidding! While it’s the manicure of the season, we couldn’t help but wonder what the deeper meaning of these gem colors represents. Wearing one of these bold hues is a way to manifest our intentions for fall — an Easter egg for what these celebs hope to serve up.

Bri Luna, owner of The Hoodwitch and author of Blood Sex Magic: Everyday Magic for the Modern Mystic, who has a chapter about nail magic in her book, tells Teen Vogue, “Nail polish can be a simple yet powerful way to manifest because color itself carries energy. When you paint your nails with intention, every time you see your hands you’re reminded of your goal, which keeps that energy active. Birthstone shades are especially potent because they connect you to your personal astrology by wearing them; it’s like carrying a talisman on your fingertips. For example, garnet reds for January can ignite passion and courage, while sapphire blues for September strengthen intuition and truth. Choosing your birthstone color helps you channel your innate power and reminds you of who you are at your core, making your manifestation even stronger.”

While you can opt for your birthstone to hone in on the energy, you can also pick the one that best applies to your aspirations, as each carries signficance and symbolism. As you use the nail polish, think of a goal on your mind — trust that it will become a reality in time.
