Hello my sweeties! It’s Friday! It was a busy week, so this is going to be a quick post today. I don’t know how to succinctly describe today’s mani, so I’m just calling it the purple mish-mash mani. 🙂 It has a little bit o’everything. I started out wanting a gradient manicure, but I decided I wanted to make it a skittlette manicure.
Purple mish-mash manicure
The darker purple is much more purple in real life. My camera wanted to make it blue-toned, but it is definitely warmer than it photographs. My camera must be prejudiced against blurples! They never work well on film for me!

I also wanted to be able to use a fun polish that I bought awhile back that hasn’t seen any love yet. Reverie Bonfire didn’t match as well as I originally thought it would, but it doesn’t clash too badly!

Polishes used:
- Pinky: OPI Do You Have This Color In Stock-Holm?… this is a warm leaning blurple that is just stunning. It’s a vibrant purple with a perfect formula.
- Ring finger (and thumb): Reverie Bonfire… this is a deep blue jelly with coppery orange shards/flakes, blue iridescent glitter, and some holo mixed throughout. I used 3 coats to get this opaque, and the formula wasn’t too thick.
- Index and middle fingers:
- Base: Formula X Heart-Stopping… this is a perfect light lavender purple creme.
- Gradient: Heart-Stopping with Stock-Holm
- Dots in Stock-Holm
What do you think? Do you think it coordinates alright? What accent glitter/ nail art would you have chosen?
Fun mix and match manicure!
Thank you! The more I look at it, the more I’m liking it 🙂
I like the mish mash look, the brighter purple in the Reverie matches nicely to the rest!
Thank you!! I would have never put them together, but they were sitting next to one another and they sort of matched… so I tried it out!
I really like the ombre with the dots 🙂
Thanks! I had never done that design before, but I thought that one of the gradient nails needed a little something extra 🙂
My camera hates blurples too. LOL. But I love this mani! Sometimes I have a hard time coming up with mish-mash manis (say that three times fast!)
I love blurples so much, I wish my camera felt the same! I feel like mishmash manis are all I do lol!
I love the skittles! That Reverie looks so gorgeous, too, just like a bonfire.
Thanks! Bonfire is definitely a beauty!!
Love the skittles!
Thank you! 🙂
I love the mish mash and thought Bonfire was the perfect addition!!I think the flakies contrast nicely with it!
Thanks!! I love pops of orange/ copper with purple – it really is a nice contrast 🙂
Love the gradients!
Thank you so much 🙂
This is beautiful! I have Bonfire and I really need to try it soon!
YES! Bonfire is amazing!
Photographing blurple polishes correctly is the hardest part for me. I swear it makes me want to throw my camera across the room every time. This is a fun mixed manicure. I really like the look of Bonfire.
Thank yoU! And YES – I totally want to hurt my camera when it doesn’t show off blurples!
I love the gradient nails! I know what you mean with photographing, I think my least favorite to photograph is always blue.
Thank you! Gradients are my go-to nail art technique when I’m not quite sure what to do 🙂 They’re always pretty!
