12 purple nail designs

Purple nail designs have an element of mystery that few other colours can convey. Purple combines the calm stability of blue and the fierce energy of red. Often associated with royalty, purple symbolizes power, luxury, nobility, and ambition. It also conveys wealth, extravagance and also wisdom, creativity, mystery and magic. Purple can be easily paired with any other shade of purple or cool colour and it looks so flattering on. Thus, getting purple on your nails is a good idea at any given time!
