It all started when I was in the mood for purple nail polish but knew I had to stop spending (as I am a shop-o-holic). I really thought there was no hope until it dawned on me that if I managed to make purple using the colours from the Ciate Nail Lab, I could just as easily create my own shade of purple using the nail polishes I already have.
When I realised that mixing blue and red made purple, I looked for all the red and blue shades I had that weren't Ciate just to see how it would turn out. I also threw in a bit of gold and silver for extra dimension and to see what it would turn out like.
I decided to make a video about four easy shades of purple you can make using four shades of nail polish. As you go along you can add more or less of the colours depending on the final effect you'd like. You can see more of what I did in the video below:
For example if you wanted to make a dark purple you would need a dark blue as it's the most dominant colour which will affect how your final shade of purple will look like when you've finished mixing the colours together. If you wanted a mid-toned purple you would need a lighter shade of blue and to make it even lighter you can add some white nail polish or maybe a light pink possibly cream coloured polish to lighten the colour up.
You can also play around with the shades of red you're using but I wouldn't know how it would turn out because I only had one shade of red on hand unfortunately. If you want to try mixing your nail polishes together you can always try and make your own shade altering the type of red you're using and why not leave a comment below and let me know what happened?
Thank you so much for reading. I hope this post was helpful and that you have more knowledge of how to mix your own nail polish colours to create different shades of purple.
Happy mixing!
