Never enough purples!! 💜💜💜 Starrily's "Pegasus" is a staple in my collection (perfect on its own or with toppers over it), and Alchemy Lacquer's "Plum Perfect" was an instant love for me. I bought multiple bottles of that when it launched, and it was very unique at the time. Other indie brands have since released very similar/identical polishes, but for me it's still a beautiful and versatile polish.
Oooh I’ll have to check out that Starrily! I think I actually had plum perfect but then ended up parting with it since it was close to KBShimmers Hidden Potential. I need to rewear because the shifts were amazing!
I have Go Ginza! I like to wear it around cherry blossom season and it reminds me of Japan. Synthetic Symphony is right up my alley as far as favorite kinds purples. I've also recently discovered that I like lilacs and orchids on me.
Purple is my favorite color and my nail polish collection reflects that. I generally like darker purples because the lilac ones blend a little too much into my pale pink skin. Cuticula mermaid mirage and kbshimmer wrap it up and along for the ride are a few of my favorites.
Great video! I really loved that you put a variety of different purples in your picks. I am inspired to go through my collection and pull some purples! 👏❤️
I absolutely love Orly Kaleidescope Eyes and Synthetic Symphony!!! That entire collection was one of the best collections ever! I have Femme Fatale Crystal Citadel and it one of my first PPU purchases too!
Violet Flame has found its rightful place in the universe and I am so happy 😊 💜 You made my day! I also love Ghost and anti-social butterfly! Is it the Lius from BKL that is purple? That is also one of my faves!
I have both orlys and the Stella Chroma. I’m a definite purple lover. Sometimes it’s hard to choose purples cuz there’s so many, but I am so glad I got the Stella chroma. It’s in my top ten polishes.
I love purple but am very particular about which purple. I don't love the warmer tones, especially those with red undertones, but I love cool-toned or greyed out purples. Lots of purples look pink to me, like your second pick. I wouldn't even categorize them as a purple, but I know that they technically are.
I know I have cuticula banished, because I was overly obsessed with cuticula for at least a year. Luckily I have broken tgat obsession because it meant I was able to try out lots of other brands and found a few that i love just as much if not more than cuticula, which I never thought I'd say. I don't think i have any if the other polishes though. I was ine of those ppl who regretted passing on antisocial butterfly. I clearly remember that. I definitely want to get some of these beloved staples from Orly tgat ppl talk about all the time. I'll get them some day, but I still just focus so much more on indies and rarely buy drugstore brands.
Yes! Purples, purples, purples! I love purples on my nails. It’s the first color that I ventured to after leaving the browns, nudes, neutrals from being in the army. It’s the first color I needed two drawers for and it’s the color I usually gravitative towards in a new collection. You and me both, with the Game Over color! 😂 why did we skip twice?! 🤦🏽♀️ I think purples look amazing on you, IMO. This video made me super happy!!
Raechel I officially offer to adopt your purples if needed 😹 love them all, have none of them. Green is my favorite polish color yet I have the most purple. I love BKL (Ohio, It‘s My Punishment, Liar, Silence is Violence) and ILNP (Halluzinate, High Score, Black Orchid) and probably could list 10 more 🫣 love the series and am excited what‘s coming next
I’ve heard a lot of people end up with more purple than anything else! So interesting! I’m going to reorganize by color and I’m curious if that’s what I have more of too.
I never say purples are my favourite and yet I probably have more than most colours lol. Such great choices Raechel! Kaleidoscope Eyes is a funny one because it's one of those inbetween shades which could go in the purple drawer or the pink drawer and neither would be wrong lol. And I LOVE shades like that, that dance that line inbetween - so good.
You are inspiring me to get my Solasta out of the drawer!! Soooo pretty. I know it is a far stretch but I made a note that if FF Crystal Citadel falls in my lap out of the sky I should press it to my heart and love it forever! What a cool color! That's my kind of purple for sure. One of my absolute favorite purples is Foggy November Morn by Potion Polish. Another is REecreational Chemistry by Stella Chroma (it was a PPU a while ago... and if anyone will tell me that it's blue I will not argue but it still a blue leaning purple in my mind).
Solasta is perfect for this time of year! I hope you can finger that FF! Ooh I need more Potion Polish and you know I love anything SC! I’ll have to keep my eye out for those. Thanks!
Love Purple! It's second after green for me. My favorites are Kelli's Solar Flare by Orly and Bakers Gonna Bake by Cuticula (it was PPU). Both are bright with blue shimmer but so different too.
I absolutely loveee your favorite purples!! They’re all so so pretty on you. Go Ginza is also one of my top favs!! I feel like i’m one of the only people who doesn’t have Orly’s Synthetic Symphony 🙈 not that I don’t love the color!! But i have mooncat’s Midnight Drive and think it’s close enough where I don’t “need” the orly hehe. I looove the glow from the EdM! Sort of reminds me of Lyn B’s Tenta-Cool from January i think? Banished would be soo perfect for Halloween!! Also obsessed with that Different Dimension Antisocial Butterfly omg 😍😍😍 so sad they haven’t brought it back!
Thanks Stefanie! I’m curious about Midnight Drive but I haven’t purchased it for the same reason. I bet they’re nearly dupes! Thanks for watching! I hope that DD comes back eventually now that they’re making polishes again!
I don't have "Synthetic Symphony", BUT I do have "Always Around Me", by Emily DeMolly, so yayyyyyy, thank you for the heads up on that one, Raechel! I just picked up "Kaleidoscope Eyes" from a destash. And "Banished" has been on my "Most Wanted" list for a while and I just found it in a destash too for $5! And, I also have "Ghost", from Stella Chroma (which I was lucky enough to find in a destash too). You have some great purples, Raechel. Still keeping an eye out for Synthetic Symphony from Orly though. CC
I hope you get around to the EDM this year. I’ll be keeping an eye out for your swatch! Omg $5 for Banished is INCREDIBLE! What a steal! We have so much in common. I love that!
I love that we all came together at Synthetic Symphony. I organize my extensive collection of purples by orchid, lilac, periwinkle, red-violet and blue-violet and then finish. My list: 1) Orly’s Synthetic Symphony 2) ILNP High Dive 3) BKL Give It Back Tenfold 4) Kathleen and Co. Fit for a King 5) Wildflower’s Anthophile 2.0 6) Starrily’s The Cat’s Meow 7) Mooncat Poisonberry 8) Cadillacquer When Galaxies Collide 9) Starrily’s Alternate Universe and 10) Potion Polish Love Potion. I’ll probably try to sneak orchid ones under pink like Cirque’s Porcelain Plum and Rogue’s Stronger Together, and some red-violets like Potion Polish’s Midnight Oasis under reds.
Purples are one of those colors that feels like it comes in SO many variations! I’ve heard several people bring up that Starrily Alternate Universe so I need to add that to my list of ones to hunt down. Thanks for the recommendations! Screenshotting your list for later 💜
I still can't believe Orly discontinued Synthetic Symphony. It's so beautiful! I haven't worn my bottle of Solasta and definitely have it sorted with my pinks! We'll see, lol. Standouts in my collection are Purple Eclipse from Fancy Gloss and Falloween Always from Night Owl Lacquer!
Synthetic Symphony is black light reactive so I say it's a neon😎 Also if you are sad about Synthetic Symphony being discontinued All Eyes On Her from this year's Orly Ulta collection is very close.
Does neon purple exist? Literal lol from me! I love Synthetic Symphony! I’m a purple lover, so I have to resist buying every purple and keep a separate purple polish album to remind myself of all the beautiful purples I already own! 😅

@@PolishwithRae Oh "Hidden Potential" I don't have. I'll have to get my hands on a bottle and test them side by side. Thanks for the tip!
I have Go Ginza! I like to wear it around cherry blossom season and it reminds me of Japan. Synthetic Symphony is right up my alley as far as favorite kinds purples. I've also recently discovered that I like lilacs and orchids on me.
I’m so glad! Those kinds of shades are perfect for this time of year!
I bought Go Ginza but doesn't look like the one in the video, it looks less light purple and more kinda light blue???
@@Liz-5- oh no! That’s weird! Maybe there are different versions of it? I hate that. I’m sorry 😭
Great pics! That Cuticula is definitely spectacular!! 🤩 It reminds me of a purple Battle of the Boxes - TFS 😊
It’s seriously so special!
Purple is my favorite color and my nail polish collection reflects that. I generally like darker purples because the lilac ones blend a little too much into my pale pink skin. Cuticula mermaid mirage and kbshimmer wrap it up and along for the ride are a few of my favorites.
I can see that. I have both of those purples and they’re gorgeous! I agree!
Great video! I really loved that you put a variety of different purples in your picks. I am inspired to go through my collection and pull some purples! 👏❤️
They’re so beautiful!
I absolutely love Orly Kaleidescope Eyes and Synthetic Symphony!!! That entire collection was one of the best collections ever! I have Femme Fatale Crystal Citadel and it one of my first PPU purchases too!
It sure was! I want more of that! Fingers crossed for this summer! Love that you have that FF too. It’s magical!
Yasss girl!!! You nailed this. Every last one of them is gorgeous!!!!
Woohoo! I’m glad you agree! 💜
Antisocial Butterfly is my favorite too. But I also love BKL's As Above So Below. It's the most gorgeous blurple with an amazing formula.
That’s a good one!
I regret not getting that one!
Violet Flame has found its rightful place in the universe and I am so happy 😊 💜 You made my day! I also love Ghost and anti-social butterfly! Is it the Lius from BKL that is purple? That is also one of my faves!
I’m so grateful for it! It is stunning! Yessss Lius is so beautiful!
Oh man I neeeeeed the Stella and DD polishes! Love Love Love!! 💜
I hope you can get your hands on them. They’re beautiful!
I have both orlys and the Stella Chroma. I’m a definite purple lover. Sometimes it’s hard to choose purples cuz there’s so many, but I am so glad I got the Stella chroma. It’s in my top ten polishes.
Yesss! It deserves all the love. It’s so dang sparkly in the sun!
Awesome shades!! 😍🤩

Oooh I like the greyed out ones. I realized I don’t have many of them though!
😮 Antisocial Butterfly is gorgeous!
Right!? Those shifts get me every time!
Loved seeing your excitement in this video!
I’m loving this series!

That’s the nice thing about drugstore is that they’re usually around for a while so you don’t have to rush!
Yes! Purples, purples, purples! I love purples on my nails. It’s the first color that I ventured to after leaving the browns, nudes, neutrals from being in the army. It’s the first color I needed two drawers for and it’s the color I usually gravitative towards in a new collection.

What were we thinking with Game Over! Such a lemming. Thank you for watching and commenting! 🥰

I’m curious how much of my collection purple takes up since I’ve heard that from. Lot of people! Yesss I love those in between colors!
@@PolishwithRae perhaps we're all in denial haha
I found Ghost in a destash!! It is so rainbow-y! I love it!
Woohoo! I’m so glad! Those holo glitters are incredible!
You are inspiring me to get my Solasta out of the drawer!! Soooo pretty.

I blame you for making me buy Synthetic Symphony. 😂😂 It’s beautiful! And Ghost holds a special place in my heart. Thank you for including it. 💜
Yesss! I’m glad you grabbed it. It’s so pretty. Ghost is magical! I will cherish it forever! 💜
Love Purple! It's second after green for me. My favorites are Kelli's Solar Flare by Orly and Bakers Gonna Bake by Cuticula (it was PPU). Both are bright with blue shimmer but so different too.
I have that Orly shade but haven’t worn it yet! I can’t wait to!

I don't have ANY of those polishes but they are gorgeous.
There are soooo many glorious purples!
Hands down favorite purple is Mooncat’s Moonfairy (says it’s a “pink-lavender”) - so magical!
Ooh I may have to grab it! Thanks!

I can’t either. I wonder if it was a pigment supply issue? I’ve heard great things about Falloween Always. I’ll have to keep an eye out for that one!
Synthetic Symphony is black light reactive so I say it's a neon😎
Also if you are sad about Synthetic Symphony being discontinued All Eyes On Her from this year's Orly Ulta collection is very close.
Mooncat’s Midnight Drive is also close.
That’s a great point! And thanks for the recommendation!
Does neon purple exist? Literal lol from me! I love Synthetic Symphony! I’m a purple lover, so I have to resist buying every purple and keep a separate purple polish album to remind myself of all the beautiful purples I already own! 😅
Bright purples like that I have the hardest time resisting!
I have that EdM in my destash. It's beautiful but I had such dramatic tip shrinkage when I wore it, I knew I'd never wear it again.
I can’t believe you detached it! But I can totally relate. When something like that happens it just sticks with you!
💜💜
