Purple is a color commonly associated with royalty, so it’s the perfect color to wear while you’re reading about Marie Antoinette and rewatching Bridgerton.

Whether you’re looking for a deep purple to match your tufted throne, a springtime lilac hue, or shades to match every bottle of wine in your cabinet, this purple nail art is hitting all the right marks. And then it can match your tongue after drinking said bottles!

Purple Nail Designs

This collection of the best purple nail designs includes everything from ombre nails and celestial nail art. Take them to your next nail appointment or try your hand at a DIY manicure at home. Keep the nail polish close and the nail polish remover closer.

 

16 Purple Nail Designs for the Royalty You Are

These purple nails by Rach are electrifying, but do a horrible job of charging your Tesla.

3. Amethyst Nail Design

For this purple nail art, Nele took inspiration from purple amethysts which are said to reduce stress. Somehow, we don’t think painting these yourself will be a stress-free experience.

4. Two-Tone Purple Tips

These French tips by @clawsandmore give off a retro vibe without green and orange tones, or time travel.

5. Vibrant Purple Nails

Your nails can make a statement, or in this case — scream – with Orly’s Synthetic Symphony. Don’t forget to apologize to your neighbors in the morning.

6. Purple Marble Nail Design

Base Beauty Salon creates these unique purple nails that are a little bit of ombre, a little bit of marble, and a little bit of Monica in your life.

7. Dark Purple Coffin Nails

These moody nails by Amo Testar are simple enough that you’ll have plenty of time to cast a few spells before calling it a day. Have you seen our spellbook, by the way?

8. Magenta Stiletto Press-On Nails

Magenta is perfectly in between blue and red, and these magenta press-on nails look perfectly stunning. Especially because we’ve already tipped over a jar of polish three times this week.

9. Swirls and Hearts

Apart, they’re pretty swirls. Together, they form a heart. There’s probably a life lesson in there.

10. Lavender Tips

Clean, classy, and lightly lavender. All things that could describe your kitchen if you washed your dishes every once and a while.

11. Deep Purple Marble Nails

Bezos may be going to space, but we’ll be sending him off with these galaxy nails. Possibly one very specific nail.

12. Purple Heart Nails

13. Purple Ombre Nails

Decisions can be hard, so don’t make any and do a full purple ombré by using The GelBottle in Marilyn, Bellflower, Flax, and Madam. Ok, but you do need to go right or left at the end of this street.

14. Purple Nails With Letters

Send a subtle message to the world by adding some gothic lettering to your purple nails. And then get a billboard to actually get the message out because door-to-door canvassing is exhausting.

15. Holographic Nails

These holographic nails are here just in time for the My Little Pony movie coming out this year. What do you mean it won’t be on Netflix?

16. Purple Flames

Hot Wheels have been around for over 50 years, but we’ve never seen flames with a color combo this gorgeous. To be fair, we were more into LEGOs.
