A Look Back: Vampy Varnish Fav’s Featuring: Purple

This is a re-post while I am on vacation. Enjoy!

VV Top 10 Purple A Look Back: Vampy Varnish Favs Featuring: Purple

Good afternoon!

I thought it might be good to get back to my “Top 5″ posts that I started in December. I have already covered red, green, gold and silver. However when it came to purples, I had a VERY HARD time narrowing it down to just 5! There was just no way I could do it. I did it with greens only because I am going to do a whole separate “olive green” post. So this wound up being a top 10 list, which might happen with some other colors coming up also. icon smile A Look Back: Vampy Varnish Favs Featuring: Purple

This isn’t going to be a full review, I have already reviewed all these in the past.

So without further ado, here are my top 10 favorite purples in no specific order.

I mean this is obvious why it’s on here, isn’t it? icon smile A Look Back: Vampy Varnish Favs Featuring: Purple

This color is just beyond! When I wore it for the first time I was CONSTANTLY staring at my hands.

Illamasqua Baptiste A Look Back: Vampy Varnish Favs Featuring: Purple

Another gorgeous deep “glowy” purple.

SO awesome, especially for a drug store find!

Dior Silver Purple A Look Back: Vampy Varnish Favs Featuring: Purple
Dior Silver Purple

Ok so this might not look technically “purple” but it’s not really silver either. It’s a cross between the two and very unique, so I had to include it.

Rimmel Violet Metal A Look Back: Vampy Varnish Favs Featuring: Purple

This also is a new drug store find and I really love it.

Nfu Oh 117 A Look Back: Vampy Varnish Favs Featuring: Purple

Glorious color, horrible old picture. Some day I need to re-swatch all these Nfu-Oh’s I have!

LA Girl Groupie A Look Back: Vampy Varnish Favs Featuring: Purple

This borders on being a blurple (I will have a blurple top 5 category) but I wanted to include it on here.

Zoya Yasmeen A Look Back: Vampy Varnish Favs Featuring: Purple

An oldie but a goodie and another horrible old picture, but you get the idea of the color!

Milani Enchantment A Look Back: Vampy Varnish Favs Featuring: Purple

This was from their Halloween collection of glitters and it’s basically a black but packed with purple glitter, so I included it.

What are some of your favorite purples?

    A few of my favorite purples are: SH Delphinium, Zoya Zara, Revlon Naughty and OPI Do You Lilac It? I really love this series by the way!

    I’m surprised there are no cremes (although shimmery purples are my faves too) or pale purples, like a lilac or lavender type color. I’d have a hard time narrowing my purple favorites down to 10. I guess I’d do a top 20 or 25! lol

  • NARS Purple Rain is incredible! Love it. You’ve also convinced me to pick up Illamasqua Baptiste the next time I get the chance.

  • Purple polishes were my first love. :) Then I fell madly in lust with green polishes. But sometimes even now, I’ll come across a purple that rekindles my purple love. ;)

    These shades look amazing on you, Kelly, and I can see why they made your list!

    Purple is my fave color! Right now I’m wearing Zoya Dannii which I love. It’s hard to choose a favorite purple.
