Purple Reign
The rich purples found in royal gowns, exotic flowers, and the decadence of the YSL collections from the ’70s were the inspiration behind the hues and fabrics featured in Gucci and Oscar de la Renta’s autumn/winter 2011 collections. The beautiful shade wasn’t limited to clothes, though—it leaked into the fall beauty collections too. This autumn, whether you wear a violet shadow, shiny amethyst lip gloss, or royal purple nail polish, your makeup can make you look and feel downright luxurious.
1 Illamasqua Intense Gloss
Coat your lips with this rich, shiny gloss to look like a princess. The deeper the color, the better, so pile on layers for a solid cover.
2 YSL Five Color Harmony Palette
This gorgeous collection of shades can create myriad stunning looks. We love them with a simple black dress or sequined gown. Just be sure to add some gleaming jewels to complete the look.
3 Hard Candy Nail Varnish
Even your nails should look like gems, and this pretty polish will set you back only $1! A sparkly color will make sure everyone takes notice.

Hard Candy polishes are so cheap that the polish typically chips within a day or two. Never could get mine to last more than two days. Plus those are typically $4 not $1 unless it's a mini.

i put a clear polish ontop (sally hansen's xtreme wear in invisible to be exact) and it lasted much longer. i love to use that as a top coat because it extends the life of all my polishes

Also if you have a good base coat those make them last longer too. I use pro fx epoxy bond and that makes all of my polishes (even my hard candy ones) wear for 7+ days. I actually get a chance to get bored with my nail color before I change it now : )
