Discover the Midnight Purple Color of Abstract After Dark

If you are searching for a dark purple gel polish with more depth than a standard crème shade, OPI GelColor Abstract After Dark is an excellent option to consider. Its midnight purple color has blue-purple undertones and a shimmering effect that adds visual interest under different lighting.

The rich, dark color creates a bold manicure while the shimmer gives it a luminous finish. It is a distinctive alternative to plain black, traditional burgundy and solid dark purple nail colors. The shade can look dramatic for evening styling while remaining versatile enough for clients who enjoy deeper colors throughout the year.

Abstract After Dark is also associated with an updated interpretation of OPI’s iconic Lincoln Park After Dark shade. Its blue-purple shimmer gives the color a modern character while retaining the dramatic appeal of a deep, dark manicure.
