About purple nail designs
Purple runs from pale lilac to deep plum. Lilac is a spring favorite that feels fresh and soft, especially on short almond and round nails. Plum is its fall counterpart, sitting between burgundy and brown, and it flatters warm and olive skin. Purple pairs well with silver jewelry and with grey, navy and cream outfits.
On short nails, lilac looks freshest with a glossy finish and a rounded shape, while deep plum suits a square or almond tip. If a full purple set feels like a lot, try it as a thin French tip over a sheer base, or on one accent nail next to nude. Dark purple is also one of the easiest Halloween shades to wear, because it reads as a rich fall color the rest of the month.
This collection currently holds 9 purple designs: the most common shapes are almond and round, most are short and medium in length, the usual finishes are glossy and french tip.
