The 4 Best Eggplant Nail Colors 2024
Are you an early adopter or at the back of the pack? If you love to try new nail trends, you’ve got to try eggplant nail polish. At this moment, not every brand offers this unique shade of deep purple. But we’ve got the best four eggplant nail polishes right here.
Top Eggplant Nail Polishes
LDS 068 Eggplant
LDS has the most cheerful eggplant shade. It’s available as nail lacquer, gel polish, and dip powder. And if you can’t decide between them, you can even get sets with lacquer and gel or lacquer, gel, and powder.
We like the lacquer because it’s cruelty-free and vegan. It feels breathable and lightweight on the nails, plus it’s 9-free. It doesn’t contain formaldehyde, petrochemical solvents, phthalates, or other nasties. Moreover, the lovely finish stays beautiful for up to a week.
If you’re into gel manicures, you’ll love the LDS gel polish with a glossy finish that lasts up to two weeks. It’s odorless and kind to natural nails. Also, it cures in only 60 seconds.
Lastly, the LDS dip powder system is popular with professionals and home users alike. The dipping essentials liquids are economical and easy to use. You can purchase refills to top off the bottles.
DND Gel Nail Polish Duo - 458 - Fresh Eggplant
This dark purple shade looks exactly like the skin of the fruit. (Eggplant is a fruit because it has seeds and comes from a flowering plant.) DND offers it in a set with lacquer and gel polish.
Have you ever wondered why brands sell gels and lacquers together? One reason is so you can use the lacquer to touch up a chipped gel manicure. After all, it’s the same exact shade and finish. That’s handy because lacquer only takes a minute to dry and you don’t need a nail lamp to cure it.
DND’s gel polish lasts up to 3 weeks and soaks off in 15 minutes. Moreover, it cures in just 30 seconds with an LED nail lamp.
SNS Dipping Powder Nail - HM05 Asian Eggplant
It’s brighter, lighter, and sparkly, too. This dip powder sets to a flexible and durable finish for a manicure that can last four weeks or more. If you’ve used dip powder, you know that it’s odorless and doesn’t require a nail lamp to dry. Instead, you’ll need liquid polishes to polymerize the powder. They include base and top coats, dry sealer, and bond (like a primer). But don’t forget the brush saver – it’s essential. When you finish using the liquids, use the brush saver to clean up the necks of the bottles and keep the lids from sticking.
SNS Gel Nail Polish Duo - AN20 Aubergine Gelous
Did you know that aubergine is another name for eggplant? This warm purple shade has a hint of glitter in it. It comes in a set with gel polish and lacquer that are both the same color. What's nifty is that although it's a dark shade, the lacquer shouldn't stain your nails. However, it's always a good idea to use a base and top coat for a longer-lasting manicure.
By the way, both polishes are 10-free. They don't contain parabens, formaldehyde, or other bad-news chemicals. Instead, they are enriched with calcium and vitamin D for stronger nails.
Purples That Are Similar to Eggplant
Now that you've seen the best eggplant nail polish, it's time to show you other similar shades. But first, there's something you should know. Eggplant originally gained its name because the first variety discovered was white. It literally looked like eggs!
Furthermore, modern varieties of eggplant come in colors ranging from indigo blue to dark violet and forest green.
Speaking of green, if you’re wondering what shades to pair with eggplant, try moss, olive, or deep green.
DND Gel Nail Polish Duo - 703 Purple Glass
This reddish purple is a little iridescent. It looks fabulous by itself but also plays well with other colors. Perhaps that’s because it’s similar to the royal purple that ancient kings and queens wore.
DND DC Gel Polish 251 - Glitter Dark Purple
It’s definitely purple, but can you see the eggplant highlights? This glittery gel will really liven up your manicure!
DND Gel Nail Polish Duo - 630 Boysenberry
This shade is a joyful reddish purple that looks good enough to eat. It’s fun to imagine using it for a holiday manicure.
