You can capture the nobility and extravagance for yourself with purple summer nails.
For light shades of purple, we’re obsessed with soft periwinkle purple, light lavender purple, and delicate thistle purple.
Choose one, or combine all three for dimension and variety, either way, these subtle purple hues are a fresh new take on classic pastel summer manicures.
To give your pastel purple nails more of a faded, understated look, consider trying a matte finish top coat to remove any shine and leave your nails smooth and flat.
Do you prefer a more elaborate aesthetic? Go all out with purple seashell nails with pearl and sparkly glitter accent nails.
Darker, richer shades of purple like plum, amethyst, and grape lend themselves to elegant summer nails.
Integrate thoughtfully placed rhinestones with any of these colors for quick, sophisticated purple summer nails. Or, get a more realistic look with amethyst crystal nails (similar to marbled nails, but more dynamic) or geode inspired nails.
Purples with red undertones like mulberry purple, lollipop purple, and byzantine purple make for fantastic additions for those with more refined, mature tastes.
Play around with these colors to find your favorite.
Once you do, we recommend mixing it up with holographic finishes, or metallic polishes like gold and silver. Or keep it simple and go for a purple twist on a traditional white french tip.
