If you love the look of galaxy nails, you know that they come in a variety of designs and colors.

In this article, we have compiled the best examples of purple galaxy nails from the most talented nail artists from around the world.

Whether you’re planning to recreate this design at home as a DIY project, or just need a couple of images for inspiration to take to your next nail appointment, this roundup features a variety of designs in all difficulty levels, so you will have plenty to choose from.

Purple galaxy nails can be executed in a number of ways, but the most popular design and color combinations include:

  • black and purple nails – black nail polish as a base allows your purple design to really stand out or make the appearance of your milky way even more prominent
  • black, blue and purple galaxy nails – if you want to add more vibrancy and life to the nail design, adding an extra color like blue will make all the different
  • stars and moon nails – while the galaxy is usually all about the starry night look, you can also experiment by adding some hand-painted stars and moon, or get some pretty small nail stickers to use as a shortcut
  • milky way nails – this is one of the most popular looks we have seen online. The Milky Way nails are very easy to recreate as a home project because all you need is just a few shades of glitter nail polish and the right technique.
  • neutral nails with stars – if you don’t want to commit to dark colors, you can go for a more neutral look with silver or white nail color as your base, and white, gold or silver stars to decorate them
  • galaxy nails with planets – if you want to fully embrace the galaxy theme, get your nail artist to create a whole constellation of planets on your nails!
