Purple nails - the psychology of manicure
Girls who prefer purple polish as the main accent of their manicure definitely have good taste and a subtle sense of style.
It’s interesting to know, but the purple color is formed by the fusion of two shades that are completely opposite in their energy message and basic characteristics - red and blue. Red is the color of passion, ardor and aggression. Blue is calming and deep, calm but at the same time alluring. The symbiosis in the trendy color block format gave the world an amazing result - intriguing ultraviolet, elevated to the top of all trends by glossy magazines and the Pantone Institute. Psychologists say that young ladies who love purple manicure are very capricious and artistic, but at the same time vulnerable and reverent. A manicure with purple gel polish helps to concentrate attention, improve intuition, develop sensitivity and awaken true femininity. Moreover, such playful nails help you find inspiration, elegantly complement your look and attract public attention to your neat, thin fingers.
By the way, purple is considered the official color of feminism, which affects its stimulating properties. So, this tone raises self-esteem, helps in self-affirmation and self-identification, but at the same time increases sentimentality, tenderness and sincerity, which is so lacking in modern society. Experts say that girls who prefer purple outfits, accessories and manicures are very self-sufficient and freedom-loving, but at the same time they crave warmth and live in their own imaginary world, never tired of dreaming and diluting the dullness of everyday life with bright colors.
The absolute advantage of the purple shade is the variability of its varieties. Are you ready to experiment, but don’t know which bottle of paint to focus on? ProstoNail experts will help you resolve this issue.
Shade of purple Its characteristics
| Plum | A juicy, berry shade, striking with its restrained richness. Particularly relevant in autumn manicure; it goes well with almost all calm colors of the palette. |
| Eggplant | Deep, black-violet hue with berry notes. Eggplant has a peculiar red tint, which is especially noticeable in bright sunlight or artificial light. |
| Amethyst | A color named after the shade of the stone of the same name. Incredibly delicate, pink-violet with muted fuchsia pigment |
| Indigo | A dark purple manicure in an indigo shade will definitely not leave you unnoticed. You want to look at it, marvel at the variety of color accents and comprehend the depth of pigment |
| Heliotrope | A gentle purple heliotrope manicure combines not only powdery, pink pigment fused with a fantastic purple, but also berry motifs that dilute the overall picture |
| Dark purple | Violet mixed with dynamic, vibrant magenta |
| Persian blue | Despite the name, this shade is more purple than blue. But there are certainly electric undertones |
| Orchid | A beautiful, light purple color, named after the shade of the most delicate orchid flowers. |
| Lilac | Another shade inspired by nature itself. Remember the delicate, lilac-pink bloom of a lilac bush - this is the presented pigment |
There are at least several dozen shades in the purple palette, so it is logical that a girl might get confused when choosing “the one.” But we definitely won’t let you be tormented by the agony of choice, weighing all the pros and cons of a purple manicure.
Advantages:
- The purple shade of the polish does not oblige you to a certain style of clothing, accessories or brighter makeup. On the contrary, such an unusual color on the nails can serve as a color accent in an image assembled from basic things;
- purple manicure is a catchy element of the look, allowing you to effectively hide other flaws in the outfit;
- choosing a manicure for short nails? Then purple will be the best option;
- in connection with recent events, by giving preference to ultraviolet you will undoubtedly become the unofficial queen of trends, worthy of at least the cover of a famous glossy magazine;
- A lilac manicure also looks gorgeous on long nails. By the way, in order for extended nails to look less vulgar and fit harmoniously into the image, cover them with a delicate gel with a powdery purple tint;
- purple is a bright and expressive color, so it can be used even “in splendid isolation.” A monotonous manicure will still not lose its originality and attractiveness.
Flaws:
- purple manicure requires careful preparation of the nail plates for the application of such a rich varnish. Gently sand your nails for a perfectly even texture;
- When purchasing purple gel polish, pay attention to its quality. Firstly, this way you won’t have to endlessly layer the coating to achieve color intensity, and secondly, this way you will avoid bleeding;
- If you choose a manicure on vacation, then avoid such rich, dark varnishes. As they grow, the nails will look untidy and unkempt. On the legs, on the contrary, purple looks quite advantageous and appropriate;
- purple, like any other dark varnish, visually narrows the nail plate, so do not cover already narrow nails with it;
- When doing a manicure, try to perform all manipulations as carefully as possible, because any imperfections will immediately be evident.
Don't be afraid to experiment; making a bright, dynamic, eye-catching manicure in a trendy Pantone color is much easier than you think.
Lavender manicure ideas with designs
Need a lavender manicure with a design? Most often, lavender sprigs are used as a basis. Flowers of iris, lilac, sakura, and violets are also painted. Delicate daisies depicted using the “dot” technique look good against a lavender background. Floral motifs predominate in the designs chosen for manicures using lavender polish (by the way, if you love roses, try repeating the design using our photo instructions).

A matte top and acrylic powder will help make the design more unusual and interesting - this duet will make the result voluminous. By the way, if you are not yet very confident in using a brush for nail art, you can start with stamping.

Choosing a nail shape in purple and pink tones
There are no restrictions on the choice of the shape of marigolds decorated with purple paints. The most successful design in this color will be for those with square or round shapes. Delicate purple shades hide excess width. In addition, color visually masks imperfections: surface unevenness, shape defects.
This option is good for long, angular claws that look vulgar. A lilac manicure on short nails will look great. Especially if you choose light variations of shades.
#4 Purple manicure using watercolor technique
Floristry is the best choice for those nail artists who work in watercolor techniques. Flowers and leaves blur beautifully on the nails and create surprisingly delicate and feminine nail art.
Not all nail artists can work in watercolor techniques. To complete the pattern, you need special watercolor paints, brushes of different sizes and shapes. In addition, drawing smooth transitions on the petals requires experience. Designs with watercolors are more expensive than classic designs with sliders, however, such a manicure will look incredibly beautiful and noble.
Lilac manicure for short nails
If your nails are small, use visual techniques. For example, a lilac background can be decorated with a geometric pattern, short nails can be covered in dark lilac colors, and the pattern can be placed crosswise. Please also note that lilac-colored base coats have recently appeared in different brands. When working with colored bases, you can come up with many interesting designs for short nails: a pink-lilac gradient, a French manicure, a manicure with glitter. Alternatively, wear just a solid color with glitter.

Design with powder flowers
One of the unusual and special design ideas has become an interesting and popular way of creating floral motifs on nails, which is created using powdery shades of varnish.

Manicure with purple polish: color combinations
With gold
A beautiful manicure, where golden monograms are drawn on an expensive, velvet purple background, is the lot of self-sufficient, self-confident women who never betray the classics.
With silver
Silver elements look no less luxurious, but at the same time laconic. They can be used to depict a couple of simple lines that form a geometric print or a funny shimmering polka dot imitating polka dot.
With white
The combination of purple and white is a classic of the genre, simple and understandable in any form. This unity of color is appropriate in French manicure, as well as when creating an ornate design on one or more nails.
With pink
With yellow
Purple combined with yellow creates a bright, rich design. But remember that yellow is the same self-sufficient shade as purple, so introduce it into the manicure gradually so that the decor does not look too cluttered.
With black
When combining purple and black, try to add a couple more bright accents to your manicure to dilute the external gloom. Let them be rhinestones or matte kamifubuki, foil or metallic ribbons that play in contrast.
With blue
The pale purple shade of gel polish combines effectively with blue, but provided that proportions and harmony are maintained.
With turquoise
With nude shades
Nude tones go well with all shades of purple. They allow you to create nail art for every day. The combination looks fresh and is suitable for different ages. Foam bubbles, stamping, landscapes, and plant motifs will help diversify the design.
Nail design in lavender tones with rhinestones or sparkles
You don’t even need to think about how to complement the lavender coating: choose rhinestones. Of course, as in any nail art with their participation, success is determined by a sense of proportion - a couple of pebbles should be enough for a full-fledged nail design.
It is best to decorate only two or three nails with rhinestones - no more. But if we are talking about small, laconic crystals, you can glue them to each nail. This design will look thoughtful.

An effective solution is to use them to emphasize the border of colors in a moon manicure or “reverse” French manicure. You can replace rhinestones with sticker pearls. This decor looks more delicate and therefore even more consistent with the lavender color.
To enhance the shine, use fine glitter and a delicate shimmer is guaranteed. Or use foil - stick a metallic film on your nails, leaving “torn” marks. And remember: silver, not gold, goes better with lavender.
Nail design options with purple color
When doing a manicure using purple polish, take into account the peculiarities of its compatibility with other colors, but do not be afraid to experiment.
Purple French manicure
Purple shades are what you need to create a graphic manicure. For example, French. It is suitable for both short and long nails. To highlight their tips, feel free to use purple in its brightest incarnations. You can try another option: instead of translucent pink as a background color, as in a classic French manicure, use lavender.
Lunar purple manicure
To prevent a monochromatic manicure from seeming ordinary, try “cutting out” a hole—circling it along the contour and leaving it colorless. You can do it differently. For example, combine several shades of purple in your nail art (say, the “milky” color of yogurt with blueberries and dark blackberry): paint the background with one of them, and highlight the hole with the other. To make this graphic design look more original, try making the shape of the hole non-standard.
Potal
In 2022, the most top designs are born with the help of potal foil. This decor looks appropriate on lilac nails, regardless of the season. Because foil can serve as a fashionable addition to designs with brush strokes, watercolor, slider, floral and quail prints.
Nail design with rhinestones
Rhinestones will help add shine to a plain matte design. They are also used as decoration on top of the rub, highlighting one or two nails with rub and rhinestones.
Laconic inlays with shiny stones will appeal to lovers of conservative solutions in nail design.
In this case, it is important to take into account that the smaller the size of the nail plate, the smaller the pebbles. Only under this condition will the manicure be neat and stylish.
Lilac manicure with sparkles
Glitter is the perfect way to break up a simple monochrome design. The use of glitter in nail art is very popular, including in combination with purple shades of varnish.
The main thing here is not to overdo it with decorations. Glitter is applied to the surface of the nails by rubbing or sprinkling. The glitter for sprinkling the design should be small, otherwise the boundaries of the design will become blurry and the surface of the nail will be uneven.
A small amount of gold and silver glitter on the free edge of the nail plate - and the festive look is ready.
Transformed French
Every girl who takes even a little care of herself knows about French manicure. Fashionistas fell in love with it for its naturalness, sophistication and simplicity. Therefore, even fickle fashion will not displace him from the pages of specialized magazines. But it’s quite possible to modify it. Today, feel free to change the white tip to any other. Even the transparent part is painted in a contrasting color.
The rule applies to the specimen in question. Color your smile line lilac. At the same time, do not forget about other decorative elements. Add a small bow or monogram design to one of the nails for a unique accent.
The advantage is that it can be easily done using tape, stamping and specially designed tape. After a few tries, you will learn to draw perfectly straight boundaries on your own. Add a print with lilac flowers on a white background to your ring finger, and you are guaranteed a romantic spring mood.
An amethyst plate and a dark purple or burgundy smile will look original. To add a festive touch, add some sparkling crystals, a scattering of small glitter or metallic adhesive tape to the surface.
Advice! Be mindful of your diet. The color and density of the surface directly depends on it. Drink plenty of water, eat healthy proteins and oils, and don’t forget about foods that contain vitamins A, B, D.

- one or more lines along the nail, a wide longitudinal stripe;
- diagonal lines (use an additional color or foil strip);
- transverse lines.
Purple color (variations - lilac, lilac, etc.) can become a background for a geometric design; they can also be applied to the design itself if a base of a different color was chosen.
Lilac design with rubbing
Mirror design is in great demand among young beauties. Rubs in light shades look bright and elegant: violet, bluish-violet, lavender.
Manicurists apply the rub manually, as if driving pollen into the nail, so that the material penetrates deeper into the structure of the varnish and evenly covers the surface of the nail plate.
In hard-to-reach places, the rub is applied using a sponge.
Matte “knitted” purple manicure
If flowers are not the most obvious choice for the autumn-winter season, then a knitted manicure is what you need in the cold. Use soft, “cozy” shades of purple when creating a three-dimensional pattern that repeats the pattern on a chunky knit sweater. The matte finish will give this manicure an even warmer look.
Beautiful lilac gradient on nails
Ombre is another name for the gradient technique. The idea is a smooth transition from one tone to another, while the coating looks impressive and multifaceted.
This technique is used both as a separate design and as a basis for decor. The transition between tones is shaded with a sponge or sponge. The main thing is to choose the right combination of shades.

A gradient from rich purple at the base of the nail to light gray at the tip is a win-win option. If you want to add sparkle, you can glue a vertical strip of rhinestones to your ring finger.

To implement the simplest ideas, you don’t have to go to the salon. Traditional plain coatings also look well-groomed.
If you want to highlight the ring and middle fingers, you can combine light lilac and purple polishes.
Rhinestones
To decorate purple nails, masters use sets with rhinestones. Small iridescent pebbles add a magical shine to the dark purple.

The main thing is that the design looks harmonious.
