Color of the Month: Ruby

For this month's gemstone feature, I was inspired by the Ruby, July's official birthstone. Rubies are one of the four precious gemstones, and "are said to guarantee health, wisdom, wealth and success in love", according to the American Gem Society. 

It doesn't hurt that they're also gorgeous ;)

I couldn't think of rubies without thinking of Dorothy's ruby slippers from the Wizard of Oz, and luckily I had a beautiful Julep polish from their Wizard of Oz collection called "Ruby Slippers" that I was able to incorporate into the look. So here it is!

I painstakingly placed all those red rhinestones individually on my ring finger for this look. 

I really enjoyed this look; it was time consuming but I thought it would be really pretty to do again around Christmas time :)
