A Look Back: Vampy Varnish Fav’s Featuring: Blurple
This is a re-post while I am out on vacation. Enjoy!
Happy Memorial Day!
Today I’ve got my top 10 blurples. In case you don’t know what a blurple color is, it’s a cross between blue and purple. Some are just purple with heavy blue shimmer or vice versa, and then a few cremes are thrown in for good measure.
I have reviewed all of these in the past, so this is just a quick run-down.
In no particular order, here we go!
This is the color that started my love for blurple polishes.
This is a super glittery blurple, very pretty!
Another great OPI one! This is much lighter than Ink.
Pinta is a great blurple creme.
Another one of my old time favs, this is heavier on the purple than blue, with massive shimmer.
Horrible pic, but nice color!
Yup Russian Navy makes it onto the list despite the name!

Misa Throw Me Something Purple Please
This is kind of the odd-ball out here because it’s so much lighter than all others. This is definitely what I would call a blurple though.
Yup amazing that a Borghese made it onto the list because I have so few of them, but this one is gorgeous.
Fabulous and blurple-y!
Obviously OPI does a mean blurple, they are my favorite ones on this post. Many of these are super similar, but I have to say blurple colors are some of my favorites alongside olive green and mushroomy taupes, so I don’t care! Oh and speaking of that, stay tuned because the next “Top 10″ will be taupe!
What are some of your favorite blurples?

I love OPI Who Are You Wearing? It’s purple enough to work for me I think, all the rest is too blue for my wonky warm under tone lol

I really love OPI Ink – it really does look like ink!
Every time I wear it, it’s stunning. Such a great, dark shade.

I’ve been wearing MAC’s Breezy Blue a lot lately, but I’m really loving those OPI shades. Actually I love almost all of them. This is the best post ever!
I can’t stop buying these type of shades. I am just madly in love with them. Illamasqua Baptiste sort of fits into this too. OPI really knows how to do a mean blurple!!

I can’t carry off blurple’s too well, although I have two: OPI’s Russian Navy and Sally Hansen Grape Going. Zoya Pinta is my favorite from above!

I didn’t know the name blurple until I became a nail blogger. However, I have always loved the color.
I think Who are you Wearing? and Play ‘Til Midnight are must haves! I have Russian Navy.

I have the LA Girl Rockstar in Groupie and it’s one of my favorites. My favorite nail color is purples, and my favorite color for everything else is blue, so blurple is just total awesomeness to me!

OPI’s Ink, Play ‘Till Midnight, Who Are You Wearing? and Russian Navy are alllllll sooooo pretty!!! I love them
