Nail Challenge Day 28: Inspired by your Favorite Color

What's your favorite color? I have two; pink and purple. But lately it seems like I prefer the purple shades for nail art. So for today's design I'm incorporating two of my purple shades for a simple yet stunning look. And it's easy to achieve too! Simply stamp a rich deep purple over a lilac base.
