Purple manicure is most often chosen by confident and strong girls. This vibrant color attracts the attention of others. But the variety of shades will allow you to create quite delicate and restrained combinations on the nails. Get inspired by our examples below and try these spectacular combinations on your own nails.
Style features
Many find themselves from purple manicure because of its brightness and catchiness. But you can find such combinations of tones that are quite suitable for office style. For example, delicate lavender will make you feel comfortable in any style of clothing. At the same time, such a color cannot be called boring, especially in addition to a stylish design.
Deep purple is associated with luxury and mystery. Also, this shade can be found in the outfits of royals and in oriental motives. All this speaks of the respectability of purple shades. The same qualities are transferred to the owner of a similar manicure.
Choice of shade
The variety of tones does not allow talking about the unity of the violet color. Each of them is unique and beautiful in its own way. The choice of a certain tone depends on your preferences and style of clothing. Purple can be both very delicate and luxurious. Just look at some of the more common shades in this spectrum.
Lavender
It would be appropriate to have a manicure in this color for the first date. This will characterize you as a light and romantic person. But the application of tone is not limited to just this narrow area. You can easily use it for spring and summer manicure.
This airy floral color seems to breathe the scent of lavender and the warmth of the summer sun.
Lilac
Suitable for almost all color types. It doesn't really matter if you are a hot brunette or a romantic blonde. As for the combinations, it is better to choose the time-tested classics. In a duet with him, gray, white, black looks great.
Bright purple
It has a red undertone and is a self-contained color. Despite this, it is easy to combine with other bright shades. Try unexpected duets with yellow or orange.
At the same time, it is difficult to call a color everyday. More suitable for bright and even extravagant personalities, as well as for a certain festive outfit.
Plum
Deep saturated color. It gives solidity and seriousness. Moreover, it can be worn both in everyday life and on special occasions (especially if supplemented with rhinestones or other designs).
If you have a cool color type, then plum can make your skin even whiter (even painful). But to whom he goes unconditionally, it is the girls "summer" and "autumn".
What colors does it match?
In addition to monochromatic manicure options, purple can be easily combined with other shades. It can be both a classical scale and very unexpected and bright duets. Take a look at the options below. Perhaps among them you will find your perfect combination.
With pink
Shades close to each other in a pair form an interesting and non-trivial manicure. The duet will sound especially relevant in the summer. After all, this is the time of rich, cheerful colors and colors. An easy combination that allows you to try on a variety of looks.
With white
There is probably no color that does not go well with pure white. Floral white motifs look very gentle on purple. If you want something unusual, but at the same time restrained, then try a jacket.
It is better to choose in this case muted and light shades of purple.
With black
If this combination is still supplemented with gold, then it may well bear the name of the royal one. In this case, we mean the rich tones of purple. Try it for a special occasion: birthday, New Years, or any other celebration.
With gold and silver
A jacket will look unusual, where instead of white tips there will be gold or silver. Also, these sparkling shades will create beautiful stains or patterns on the nail itself. If you make a light silver accent at the base of the nail on a lavender shade, then the duet will turn out to be light and delicate.
With orange
This combination is used in their work not only by nail service masters, but also by interior designers. Not everyone would dare to experiment like this. If you are one of these daredevils, then everyone's attention and enthusiastic responses are provided for you.
With yellow
The combination can be embodied in a summer or autumn manicure. After all, it was nature that prompted us such an unusual fusion. Look at the colors of autumn, and you will understand that there is nothing terrible or illogical in this duet.
One of the shades must be repeated in clothes, otherwise the image may look scattered.
With green
This seems to be a very daring combination. And daring to paint one nail green and the other purple is rather strange. But such a manicure is also possible. It looks most logical in chameleon varnishes: when saturated violet, when exposed to sunlight, casts pleasant green tones.
Modern ideas
Purple is one of the trends this season. But the manicure masters do not stop at the one-color version.They offer modern beauties unusual novelties and interesting design options. Let's try to consider the most popular purple manicure trends.
Sequins
Using them in limited quantities in any manicure makes the latter interesting and unusual. After all, all your nails do not sparkle like a Christmas tree decoration. And only a pleasant and mysterious glow appears when the light hits.
With rhinestones
Combined with purple, they have a striking effect. Do not limit yourself to white pebbles, you can safely attach green, purple, red and even orange rhinestones to the nails. Such a warm and luxurious manicure will amaze with its brightness and originality.
Drawings
If you chose a deep purple color, then the drawings should be bright or white. Otherwise, they will simply be lost against such a background. On plum, bright gold patterns will look original, and for light lavender, you can pick up drawings in black, executed with a thin brush.
With holes
This trend has not lost its relevance for several seasons. If you still haven't tried this interesting design on your nails, then we advise you to venture into its unusual execution in purple. The holes themselves can be decorated in white, transparent or pink.
French
Antipode of the previous design. This classic design can be done not only in nude and light shades. A white jacket in combination with lavender will look very gentle and spring-like. It is better to combine the same bright shades with deep purple.
An interesting option would be to design the free edge of the nail in gloss with a matte surface of the entire nail.
Matt
In this performance, the marigolds literally become velvety. The actual manicure will sound in the autumn version. As for the selection of wardrobe, it does not have to be things in purple tones. Classic office colors also work well with matte purple nails.
Ombre
Look at the violet flower. Remember how the delicate white heart of the flower fades into purple? Why don't you repeat the combination invented by nature on your nails. You can make it very bright by making the transition from purple to pink.
Chameleon
Modern varnish manufacturers offer us unique products. These include the chameleon varnish. Under different lighting conditions, it casts in one or another color. Purple varnish can cast green, crimson, pink and blue shades.
Rubbing
There are two possibilities here. In the first, the rub is applied to a purple tone, in the second, the rub itself can be of a purple hue. And in fact, and in another case, your marigolds will cast a pleasant soft light.
Lace
If on a bright gloss it can get lost and be superfluous, then on a matte purple surface it will manifest itself in all its glory. You can go the other way around by decorating the lace itself in purple. In this case, the base can be lavender or lilac.
Foil
There are two ways to create such a design. This is the use of a special free-form film that resembles shards. In the second version, a special varnish is used, which, when applied to the nail, seems to crack. Purple is the perfect tone for this effect.
Marble
Although such a shade of marble does not exist in nature, it may well appear on the nails with the help of the hands of a skilled master. "Veins" can be black, white, crimson or pink.
Cat's eye
When performing this technique on a purple background, a very mysterious and mysterious image is created. Soft, rich tints are like the sparkle of precious stones.
Geometry
These can be either discreet horizontal stripes or complex patterns that require special skill.
If you want to create perfectly straight lines at home, then use special adhesive tape for design.It will greatly simplify the work.
Space
This is the second most popular shade (after dark blue) for creating a manicure in a similar design. More suitable for young ladies. With an office style, it will look inappropriate.
As you can see, purple is very varied, rich and vibrant. But don't be afraid to apply it in manicure design. After all, there are many options when, even with such an unusual shade, the nails look neat and restrained.
