Purple nails keep you looking luxurious and classy. It is my go-to nail color whenever I have a luxurious event or occasion coming up.
For a night out, medium-length dark purple nail designs with rhinestones or glitter are the best option. For a classy day-to-day look, you should get pastel purple nails, especially in spring or summer.
With numerous shades of purple available, getting purple nail art that suits you might be tough. No worries, because I've got you. From dark purple nails to pastel and ombre purple nail designs, here are 40 purple nail designs you can rock regardless of the season.
The versatility of this purple nail is unmatched. It has a light pink base with purple crocodile tips on two fingers.
One nail is designed with charming swirls of pink and purple with gold glitter that gives the whole look a pretty finish.

Not a big fan of acrylic nails? You can get glossy violet nail polish to paint your natural nails.
You can do this at home if you don't feel like going to the salon. To prevent the polish from staining your cuticles, apply vaseline using a Q-tip to your cuticles before you start putting on the nail polish.
