Pantone ultra violet as I am sure you have heard by now, is the colour of the year for 2018? I am so pleased and almost excited about the endless possibility this gorgeous colour will bring to my wardrobe and fingernails in 2018.
Pantone Ultra Violet
On my walls, no thank you. On my back, yes please. A huge thank you in advance to Pantone for making me feel trendy this year. What about the the saying that only ‘old ladies wear purple’ In my opinion another myth to be banished forever to the back of the closet!
Pantone says:
“…A dramatically provocative and thoughtful purple shade, PANTONE 18-3838 Ultra Violet communicates originality, ingenuity, and visionary thinking that points us toward the future…”
I have been researching the stores for you and found plenty of example as to how purple can be added to your wardrobe next year. Let’s start with Ultra Violet in Beauty Products…
I will be wearing Ultra Violet on my nails in 2018
These colours are already available to buy online from Boots:
Purple Mens Wear for 2018.
One thing I must mention, this is a bright blue purple, no plum tones please, think Prince as in Purple Rain rather than Raspberry Beret!
These mens tops are all available to buy online from River Island.
“…On my walls, no thank you! On myself , yes please!

I had seen this fun fact, but completely forgot. Thank you for sharing all the great clothing pieces and accessories. I’m happy to note that I already own an item or two in ultra violet. I had to chuckle when you mentioned no purple for your walls. We had a purple kitchen when I was growing up. NOT pretty! You’ve made excited to paint my nails purple! Thank you for linking up with the Thursday Moda.

Love this color and I was also crazy about Radiant Orchid from 2014. I can’t wait for the eye shadow palettes to
come out with this color!
Happy holidays, Mimi

Thank you Nicole! Wishing the same to you!
I recently wore a violet bell sleeve sweater and someone commented it will be the color of the year next year. I didn’t know what they meant by that at the time, but I do now! How exciting! I’ve been so disappointed in their color choices the past few years, but this one I can get behind.

I like the nail polish colours, too. Purple used to be my all time favourite colour when I was a kid not so much as an adult. Might have to give it a try with something. I could always put a purple rinse on my silver hair!!

Hi Sharon,
