Can you help me find a sheer almost violet nail polish please?

You know the brightners that only show in the daylight not inside, so almost bluey? I'm trying to find something that is an actual colour. Just a normal polish not one for a UV lamp.

Must be sheer not cream.

TIA 😊

Something like Art Deco nail whitener?

Something like that but an actual colour, I didn't like the fact it only shows when you're outside, and when you're inside it looks like clear. Thanks though 😊

Oh I thought that's what you wanted! How about Lilacism by Essie?

No, that's opaque, I want it to be almost transparent. I've tried the Dior Glow but wasn't impressed.

That's sort of thing but not a brightener as they go on clear and only show outside and they're just clear indoors.

Nails inc do a sheer violet/purple glaze (think it’s called donut glaze but I’m meant to be working so can’t search atm!) which might fit the bill? Think it may be iridescent though.

I have something similar to that, I'd like it to be sheer and not chrome. Thank you for looking 😊

Miley by Orly, I've been looking for something very similar and this is such a lovely shade

Brand is Zoya not Orly!

I looked at that yesterday, in some images it looks opaque and some sheer though?

I've ordered the Zoya one. Looks hopeful. Thanks everyone who posted 😊

I apply two thin coats and it's sheer. Maybe they're are using more to get a more opaque effect? Hope you like it, it's a really pretty colour Smile

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 13/09/2023 19:37

Sheer is what I want,thank you! It's so hard to chose from Google images, some colours look totally different from real life.

Rainbow Connection is based in the UK (though just about to close for a week's holiday) and they have a couple of jelly purples that might work 1 2 3

(Haven't used these particular colours but have been happy with everything I've tried from them)
