Okay but light purple nails have been living in my head rent-free for the entire spring and I’m making it everyone’s problem now 💜✨
It started as “oh maybe something soft” and suddenly I own twelve different light purple shades, my camera roll is 95 % hand pics under cherry blossoms, and my boyfriend just sighs every time I say “wait let me see how this looks in natural light”. He asked if I’m starting a light purple cult. Babe… maybe.
Light purple nails are therapy. And I’m in deep.
True story: I wore light purple nails to my friend’s garden-party wedding last month and the bride herself pulled me aside to ask for my nail girl’s number. The BRIDE. On her own wedding day. That’s the power we’re working with here.
Another confession: I used to think purple was “too much”. Then I tried one coat of milky lilac and folded faster than a cheap umbrella. Now I’m here writing this with light purple toes too because I have standards? Never heard of her.
Anyway, I’m fully unhinged and these are the light purple nails currently making me feral. Send help or just come over and paint my nails at 3 a.m., either works.
20+ Light Purple Nails That Have Me Completely Delulu This Spring
Soft Lilac with Glass-Like Gloss
This shade is so creamy I want to live inside it. I wore it to brunch and kept holding my iced coffee up to the light like a complete weirdo just to watch the shine. No regrets.
Pastel Lavender with the Softest Sheen
Clean-girl lavender that somehow still feels dreamy. I did these for a job interview and spent the entire time trying not to stare at my hands instead of the interviewer. Still got the job tho.
Light Purple with Tiny White Daisies
The flowers are so delicate I almost cried in the salon chair. Again.
Matte Light Purple Minimal Vibes
Matte lilac makes me feel calm in a way my therapist wishes she could.
Lavender-to-Pink Ombre Fade
This gradient is so smooth I want to hug the inventor of ombre. Tried doing it at home once and it looked like a crime scene in pastel. Never again.
Glossy Lilac with One Pearl Accent
One pearl to remind everyone you’re classy but still fun. I felt like royalty until I chipped one reaching for fries. Still worth it.
Light Purple with Thin Silver Lines
The silver lines are so perfect I kept holding my hands up in restaurants like I was in a jewelry campaign. My date thought I was weird. He was right.
Milky Lilac Cloudy Dream
This tone is actually healing my soul. Send help.
Fine Glitter Dust Light Purple
The glitter is so fine it looks like someone sprinkled actual fairy dust. I’m not okay.
Light Purple Coffin with Mirror Shine
Coffin girlies don’t do subtle and that’s valid.
Lilac with Tiny Daisy Art
The little daisies make me stupid happy every single time I look down.
Light Purple Chrome That Shifts
Chrome lilac is soft meets dangerous and I’m here for the chaos.
Translucent Jelly Light Purple
Looks like someone bottled lavender syrup and painted my nails with it. I want to eat my hands.
Anyway I’m officially in my light purple era and there’s no escape. My nail appointment is next week and I’ve changed my mind 47 times. We need to match this summer or I’ll cry.
