What colors do you use to match your purple varnish?
Versatile, purple is as well suited to soft colours as more assertive ones. The associations that we adopt without a mistake this season:
White x purple : a classic fresh and bright, particularly nice in French pastel manicure or for subtle details on purple nails.
Chocolate x violet: a marriage very current. Chocolate brown has been ubiquitous for several seasons and creates a sophisticated contrast with lavender, glycine or eggplant violets.
Chrome silver x purple: metallic varnish and silver glitter enhance the dark purple nails wonderfully. A combo to adopt for the end of year parties.
Neutrals (grey, beige, nude) x purple: perfect shades to put purple in majesty while maintaining a refined look.
Red x purple: The duo that creates the surprise. For a long time, red and purple were considered difficult to marry, but today it is a very trendy combination that can be found in beauty as well as fashion.
The to-do to make her purple manicure last
A beautiful coloured varnish deserves an impeccable outfit! Here are some simple but essential steps to prolong the shine and hold your manicure:
Prepare her nails like a pro
Before applying its preferred purple varnish, we think of:
- Line the nails to uniformize the length and give them the desired shape.
- Ramp cuticles to gently push them off with a shoot.
- Matify the surface with a preparation file.
- Degrease to remove nail dust and grease residues that may interfere with the adhesion of the varnish.
These four steps form the basis of a successful manicure routine.
Base and top coat: long-wearing allies
You probably know, applying a base is essential to standardize the surface of løongle - whatever color is chosen. Preferably use a coat base of the same range as the varnish or a compatible processing base.
Also, make sure to always finish the manicure with a layer of top coat to protect the color and ensure the good and long-lasting hold of the varnish:
- On varnish Green™ , apply the Top Coat Sunshine for a outfit up to 7 days.
- On LED varnish Green Flash™ , apply the Top Coat Green Flash™ for a holding up to 12 days or Top Coat Xtrem FlashTM for up to 21 days.
Hydrate and protect
Well-fed cuticles make all the difference as they can play their full role as a protective barrier to the nail matrix. ApplyGreen oil daily to keep clean nails and nickel manicure longer. And consider protecting your nails every day by wearing gloves during household chores to avoid overexposure to water and detergents.
Purple has this rare talent: reinventing itself without ever losing its radiance. Sometimes mild as a lilac petal, sometimes intense as a summer night, it goes through the seasons and trends with natural. In pastel, glossy, glazed or graphic version, this chameleon color definitely deserves its place in your varnish collection. Long live the Purple Nails!
