Plum trees bear bold, brilliant purple plums and beautifully delicate flowers in various shades of pink, white and purple.
It’s no wonder their almost unnatural presence and beauty have been inspiring people for hundreds upon hundreds of years. And there’s no better way to reflect the ethereal elegance of plum trees than to use their flowers as inspiration for your aesthetic.
Incorporating the use of pale pinks like pink lace, rose, cherry blossom, and pink quartz into your manicure are fabulous examples of using the natural loveliness of plum trees as a source for your creativity.
Plum nails can sometimes appear to have warmer red undertones if left plain, but you can cool down the hue of plum purples by offsetting them with a yellow-based color.
Cream and champagne hues combined with plum purple make for a fantastic color theme for your next manicure.
For a more dramatic look for your nails, pair cool plum purples with shiny silver or gold metallics for a striking contrast.
Crackle top coats in pure yellow gold over plum backgrounds, and silver base coats with plum accents, are some of our favorite combinations of these radiant colors for your nails.
Dark and intense colors like wine, burgundy, raspberry, and black violet are another way to embolden your plum nails by adding a bit more color.
Whether you combine plum with one, or all of these colors, your nails are guaranteed to leave you feeling your opulent self all day.
