Wheels Y2, Z2, and A3: Purple Cremes

Welcome once again to Nail Wheel Wednesday, also known as "Hi, I'm a Crazy Person". Today I've got purple cremes: lilacs and plums and vampies and such. I think a mauve or two might have snuck in as well. This isn't even all my purple cremes: you may remember wheels C2 and D2, and before them A2 and B2, and before them wheel F (which I really need to re-photograph now that I've gotten better at using my camera), and even farther back, the first episode of this series, wheel A. Purple is my favorite color, but even I can see this is excessive. If I win the lottery (I suppose I need to start playing as a first step), I will have to hire a dupe-documenting assistant to help me weed out my stash.
