Dance Legend Sahara Crystal - Amethyst

Another fabulous purple for 2014 is from Dance Legend.  This one is called "Amethyst", from their Sahara Crystal collection and it's a dark purple with red micro glitters, which shine really nicely in the sun!  The formula was a bit thick to work with, but you can get good coverage in 2 coats, though maximum wear time was about 2-3 days.  Photos below are without top coat and with indoor lighting.

What are your favorite purple shades for 2014?

P2 Sand Style - Lovely

Here's another P2 sand style polish, which I bought at DM (Drogerie Markt in Germany).

It's called "080 lovely" and it is a deep purple with silver glitters of all sorts!  There is also a slight blue tint to it in the shade, which you'll see below.  Since the "color of the year" for 2014 is purple/orchid, this would be a perfect sand polish for any season throughout this year.

I now own all of the p2 sand style colors and I hope they keep coming out with more!  Like all sand polishes out there, it's best to wear it without top coat for maximum gritty effect, which  means the wear time is about 3-4 days with minor chipping.  Hope you go out and get some purples for 2014!
