Purple is your energy color

Don’t have purple paint on hand? Nothing. For this halo manicure, nail artist Brittney used Lights Lacquer Polishes in Tuxedo Mask, a true deep black; the midnight train, the color of burgundy wine; and Candy Girl in bubblegum pink ($11 each). When combined together, the result is a very mysterious dark purple color.

Flower? For fall?

We get excited about flowers during the colder months—especially when they have a little sparkle. This vibrant manicure combines French tips and shimmering lavender and deep purple flowers, all set against the most gorgeous lavender base. Your holiday parties aren’t ready for this one.

Let’s give it a spin

With swirls of purple and lilac, this manicure proves that purple looks stunning in any shade or finish. Mix your darker colors with cute periwinkle or vibrant lavender for a more pop of color.

She is a life ruiner

There’s nothing more dramatic than a pointed almond nail, but you can take the shape to the next level with a bold plum color. This nail polish isn’t called “She Ruined Everyone’s Lives” (Static Nails, $18) for nothing!

Paint the town purple

Plum might be the shade for you—especially this shimmery, light-reflecting polish, perfect for a winter night out when you’re about to transition from hot chocolate to a tall glass of prosecco.

On cloud nine

This dreamy nail art has left us stunned. Paint on some mystical clouds on a dark purple background, then add gold or silver stars for a perfect design that will take you to cloud nine. (Or ask your nail technician to take on this difficult task.)

Channel your inner space girl with these cosmic purple nails. Layer this polish over a layer of black (like Mooncat Nail Lacquer in Emo For Life, $13) to add depth and another layer of mystery to your nail look. Alien? We are ready for you.

That feeling of pink

Bright red and purple have never looked better together. Add a little sparkle and you’re ready to party!

Take your nail art to another galaxy with a magnetic mani. Deep purple mixed with shimmering blue has never looked better and stands out a mile. This is appropriate – because after all, you are the center of the universe.
