[NOTDs] Purple Nails

I'm still catching up on blog posts.  This post will be a compilation of NOTDs from spring and summer, feauturing all purple nail polishes.  I'll start with my favorite, Zoya Malia, a creamy mid-tone, blue-leaning purple.  Malia is one of my all-time favorite nail polishes.

There are more purple manicures after the jump....

Essie She's Picture Perfect is a lavender color with a flash of fuchsia.  That flash of fuchsia does translate onto the nails although I couldn't capture it in a picture.  (My camera has trouble with purples.)

New York Color had a great Spring 2012 collection with a Sweets theme.  My favorite polish from that collection was New York Color Lavender Cupcake, a creamy pale lavender.  NYC polishes are excellent (and inexpensive).
