Purple nails: Trendy manicure ideas for every season

 

Purple Rain: shades of purple for every season

In summer, dare to shine and refresh

Summer purple shades are inspired by nature in full bloom at this time. To enhance your tan, go for bright, vibrant, and airy purple nails that bring a poetic and modern touch to your summer looks, whether you have short or long nails.

Lisa Lilas: a pastel mauve that evokes the softness of a lavender field under the Provençal sun. More original than a pink polish, Lisa Lilas is perfect for a retro-chic and offbeat look, in the spirit of the 90s. We love applying a Matte Top Coat for a fresh and modern look that suits short nails well.

Armeria: this rosy mauve is the sparkling and vibrant touch of the season. Inspired by the 70s, it is full of creativity and freedom. With your best bikini or a little summer dress, it is always magnificent. Warm up to the tips of your nails!

 

Bring warmth in autumn

When the leaves fall from the trees, isn't it time to bring a note of comfort to your nails? Choose warm tones that recall the richness of autumn colors.

Violeta: a captivating purple shade where the breath of summer fruits meets the sparkle of a starry night. This sumptuous polish color dances between rosy burgundy and ripe violet, like a juicy berry kissed by the light. Better than a red polish, it tells a story of passion and mystery at your fingertips.

Victoria Plum: It is soft and velvety, like a sun-ripened plum. This delicate blend of violet, pink, and brown, almost “gourmet,” evokes a garden at dusk, an invitation to daydream. Elegant and natural, this polish color matches all your desires.

 

In winter, ignite all desires

In winter – and for the holiday season – instead of red nails, give in to the dark nails trend, a beautiful way to draw attention to your fairy-like hands.

Aubergine is the perfect color to accompany winter days. An intense and deep violet that sometimes takes on the look of black polish, wrapping your nails in a soft and silky warmth. Great for warming up your winter looks with a touch of sophistication! 

Mystic is a deep blue violet with a magnetic aura, like a night sky on a winter evening. This rich and captivating shade adorns your nail tips with an unreal charm for a chic and mysterious manicure.

 

In spring, take inspiration from flowers

The return of sunny days also brings soft and pastel shades, perfect to pair with vibrant spring looks.

Iris is a delicate ode to spring, a soft and confident violet with bluish undertones, inspired by blooming iris petals. It captures the freshness and poetry of the first sunny days and beautifies your nails with a floral touch, wonderful for celebrating nature’s rebirth!

Wisteria is a soft lavender color, subtly veiled with gray, evoking the grace of blooming wisteria. Both refined and soothing, this pastel polish dresses your nails with a touch of romance, perfect for strolling through a spring garden.

 

5 ideas for purple polish nail arts

Mystic Shine

We want glitter in our lives! So, to add a touch of sparkle and glamour to your manicure, sprinkle your purple nails with Holo glitter or Silver. Use a glitter brush to place them more precisely before sealing your nail art with a layer of Top Coat Green™ or Green Flash™ (if you chose a semi-permanent LED polish).

 

Wisteria Love

We adore Wisteria, a delicate pastel mauve with bluish nuances. Make it even more charming by adding a subtle little dot of Lemonade, a sparkling pale yellow, at the base of your polish layer on the nail. A simply lovely spring nail art and perfect for short nails!

 

Matte Aubergine

For a chic and contemporary look, let yourself be seduced by this matte French manicure made with the divine Aubergine shade and our Matte Top Coat. Velvet effect guaranteed! Add a little touch of shine by drawing the French smile at the tip of the nails with the Top Coat Sunshine.

This is the nail art that everyone agrees on. Original, quick, and ultra stylish!
