When I sat down to do my October manicure, I realized that the birthstone is Opal, and that I have already done an Opal manicure, which you can see HERE. But for those of you who like the historical/geological aspect of COTM, I did discover that Opal is a formation of non-crystalline silica gel that seeps into crevices in the sedimentary strata. It then hardens to make the opals you know from the jewelry store!
October babies also can claim tourmaline as their birthstone, a gem known for its color-shifting properties.
Since I didn't have any new ideas for Opal, I decided to just link to my old mani and do a halloween themed manicure this week. My inspiration was a tea towel that we got in at Pier 1.
I'm hoping to get a couple more halloween manicures done before the holiday. I have a couple cute designs in mind, so keep your eyes peeled!
