The color of royalty (along with Taylor Swift and Prince) adds a unique touch to any beauty lookāincluding a manicure. From hyacinth to lilac, lavender to plum, there are countless shades to choose from. And when it comes to nail art, nothing stuns more than purple flowers, butterflies, or French tips. So, step up your mani game this season by rocking a regal hue that will get you compliments left and right.
