The trend, translated
Longevity starts before polish touches the nail. Dehydrate the plate, cap every edge, and respect cure times — then amethyst nails stops being a two-day fling and becomes a proper relationship.
Save first, decide later — half of great manicures are two good references spliced together.

FAQs
Who should wear amethyst nails?
February birthdays traditionally — but anyone drawn to the shade gets honorary membership.
How do I make it look like real amethyst?
Depth is the trick: a darker base, jelly mid-layers and a crystal-cut top coat mimic faceting better than glitter ever will.
Is there a subtle version?
Keep the stone color as a single accent nail over a milky base — birthstone whisper instead of announcement.
