Ultra Violet

I'm a little behind - I just now remembered to check to see what the new Color of the Year was, and in case you didn't know either, it's Ultra Violet - a deep blue-violet. This is totally up my alley. (I liked Greenery, last year's color, but it's not terribly flattering on me. Same with the pastels from the year before that.) So I'm going to see what I can come up with for nail polishes to match.

Here's a really awesome one, Zoya Isa:

which I actually just talked about lately, as it happens. It's a bit deeper than Ultra Violet is supposed to be, I think, but it's definitely in the ballpark.

One of my favorite purples ever (and I love purples, so that's saying something) is also in the ballpark, Poltergeist Purple:

As you'll see if you click over to the link above, it is on the new PS website but it's apparently not currently in stock. I named this my favorite polish of 2016, in fact - it has a blue-violet base but it shimmers and shifts off in several other directions as well. It's seriously cool.

(Hmm, if you're into holos, PS has a new one that's in this color range, Carina.

I've had wear problems with this brand (below), myself, but other people love it, so I'm guessing it's just me, and this is an awesome color, in any case:

Here's Violet Femme on Picture Polish's (Australian) website (I looked and Live Love Polish doesn't have it), but it is a current color. I did order this directly from the website several years ago, and it went fine when I tried it, for what that's worth.

(I saw somebody else's list of Ultraviolets, earlier - here - but it was all more expensive brands. I'm looking for things that are more reasonably priced.)

These aren't colors that I have, but Do You Have This Color In Stock-holm? looks pretty close. Or Essie Sexy Divide (which I've never even heard of). Or Grape Pop from China Glaze.
