I have a client who's had a lot of health problems and is now learning to treat herself by having her nails done!
It's her birthday at the end of the month and she's coming in and getting something a bit exciting! She wants purple but she's left it to me to create a design, I haven't had time to think about it yet but just wondered if some of you could share your ideas for purple nails? She likes glitter, gems and nail art all of which I can do-it's just getting some ideas really!
She will be 60 but she's young at heart and enjoys having something interesting she doesn't like boring old beige or anything like that lol. If anyone could post some pics that would be great?
Thanks all and I'll keep searching on Pinterest!x
 
Do you do stamping at all? I do stamping now and add rhinestones to it. Though it's not purple, these were my nails few weeks ago.

This is silver with blue foil pressed into it with the foils scrunched into a ball. Try this with silver foil into the purple.

These were a set I did a while ago, on myself, my nails were quite short so they didn't show the (Beautopia nails inspired) design in its full glory.
I have also done purple with foils which looks great.
The What Nails Are You Sporting Today, thread is good for inspiration.
There are some very talented people on there, and they often put links to YouTube tutorials in their post, too.

If you are into stamping this would look great! Background bright purple with white design on top! Very eye catching!

How about purple nails with a contrasting glitter accent nail or studs at the base?

Ignore the awful state of my nails and the lack of clarity in the picture!
These are my nails at the moment, bright purple with bright orange accent nails and silver studs.

I use Swarovski crystals in about 90% of nails i do! So popular !!! ImageUploadedBySalonGeek1408227578.347434.jpg
 
These are my fave purple ones at moment. Don't know if it's what you're looking for but thought I'd share ImageUploadedBySalonGeek1408231026.425299.jpg

Hey! This is Shellac in Rock Royalty with violet pearl additive fade & on ring finger is irresistible (or Lacenté) silver foil scrunched up & patted over the nail 😊

Gelish starburst and partygirlproblems from the trends, and cherry blossoms :)
 
Wow some amazing ideas I love the stamping I just can't do it when I've tried (I had a crappy little home kit before though)
I'll be looking Into it. Thanks for the tips girls x
 
This is so stunningly sparkly :D
