The Prettiest 18+ Violet Nails You Need to Try This Year

Okay but violet nails have been my entire personality for the last two months and I’m making it everyone’s problem right now 💜✨

I didn’t mean for this to happen.

Violet nails are lavender’s moody older sister who smokes clove cigarettes and reads Sylvia Plath.

True story: I wore deep violet chrome nails to my office Christmas party and my boss’s wife pulled me aside to whisper “those are the sexiest nails I’ve ever seen”. I felt like a villain in the best way.

Another confession: I used to think purple was “too much”. Then I tried one coat of rich violet gel and folded faster than a cheap umbrella in a storm. Now I’m writing this with violet toes too because I have zero self-control left.

So yeah… I went full psycho on Pinterest (again) and these are the violet nails currently making me feral.

Deep Violet Chrome Almonds

This chrome is so deep it looks black until the light hits and then BAM — pure violet magic. I wore these to a winter wedding and felt like a sexy witch all night.

Velvet matte violet on short squares. I felt like a rich aunt who reads tarot cards and owns too many rings.

The silver flowers on deep violet?? I almost cried in the salon chair from how perfect it is.
