This is one of my favorite OPI colors, especially in the summer when my toes have a slight tan. It's more of a hot pink with a bluish tint. I have repurchased this, and will continue to do so.

This is definitly not purple, more like a hot fuschia color! It has a blue/violet flash/duochrome. This a really beautiful summer color! It'll look awesome on my toes too. I was expecting it to be sheer and watery in the bottle, but was very surprised! I could probably get away with one coat, but applied 2 for comfort. This is probably my go to summer color, especially for toes, which I usually don't do crazy colors with. You could probably find less expensive dupes for this, but I bought it, so I will love it :) Good buy!

As other reviewer have stated this isn't really purple. It's a saturated pink with a soft hint of lilac. If you want this colour, but even edgier I would recommend China Glaze in Pink Voltage. It is similar except the "hint of" is a bit more blue toned, and the pink is neon.

I prefer the formula and brush on this OPI bright polish: it was amazingly creamy and pigmented even at the first coat. It contrast beautifully against my NW15 fair skin. Also it has not chipped for a few days, when using a base and top coat. I prefer to use this on my toes, though it is just as lovely on your hands. I would recommend and repurchase!

It's not as purple as much it is a pink or fuchsia. Gorgeous fun, summer-y colour.

I was looking for a light purple, and Pompeii Purple looked like the color I wanted from the drugstore.com website. It's a gorgeous color, even though it's not as dark as I had hoped. It's a deep pink with an iridescent sheen. It would look perfect on my toes, if I had a suntan. I don't wear color on my nails, so this Pompeii Purple won't work for me...

I don't understand how the product is named purple, because I definitely see it being more of a deep pink...not that it's a bad thing though! I find this a gorgeous, glossy, shimmery, iridescent pink that shines a lovely soft lilac/blue. I work in an office but I am very trendy by nature and am not into neutrals...so I like to experiment with various colours until my boss tells me to tone it down (which hasn't happened so far ^^) and this one was quite the winner...and in fact, I got a few other girls in the office into this colour... and other OPIs... by far my favourite brand, hands down. I need to get myself a few backup bottles of this :)

I don't like pink at all but love this OPI color!! It's a fun and bright hot pink magenta color with purple undertones. Not purple at all like the name implies. I am pretty tan and it looks great with my skin but think it would be awesome on anyone! REALLY shiny so you don't need a top coat but I like to because it makes my manicure last longer. Another great OPI color!!

I'm generally a "neutrals" kinda girl when it comes to nail polish colors, but when I'm in the mood for a brighter color I reach for this shade. It's a perfect hot-pink shade made a little more fun and interesting by being shimmery and having a beautiful purple iridescence to it. This is just an all-around gorgeous shade that can look fabulous on a variety of skin-tones. LOVE!

My all time favorite nail polish color, a gorgeous hot pink color with purplish tinge. I get this color when I get my nails done at least every other month (I typically choose a different color each time), and I've seen it look nice on different skin tones.

I'm reading the other reviews about how this polish is great on toes for summer... I guess I'm way out of fashion because I've got it on my fingernails and it's the end of November. ;) Oh well, I love it! It's a really fun, bright pink/purple. Any actual nail gurus will probably cringe when I say this because I don't follow the nail board and just buy stuff I think is pretty so I'm sorry if I use the term incorrectly, but I think it has kind of a holo effect. I heard that in a YT video so if I'm wrong don't kill me. :) It changes color based on the angle from pink to purple to red. Very pretty and everytime I see my nails I feel all happy. I'm NW20 if that matters.

Awesome color. Looks fantastic on my dark (NC50) skin. I first tried this color when I got a manicure. I fell in love with the color, so I had to go out and buy a bottle so I can wear it whenever. When I get bored with everything else, I always reach for this for my tips and toes. This one gets a lot of compliments. I think this color would work for all skin tones. Even those who don't really care for pinks would probably like this shade.

This is amazing - I get sooo many compliments on my toes when I wear this!!! I love this color so much. My mom loves this color as well, and she doesn't even like pinks, let alone a bright, vivid, fun pink like this one!! It just looks so good on. Perfect for summer, too!

Pompeii Purple is a fun summer color, that has a little bit of an edge over it's competition: it's blueish sheen. What would have been a pretty average color for summer now has a bit of visual interest which gives it a more universal and eye catching quality.
It is a little sheer, though, and requires 2-3 coats for really good coverage.
Overall, very nice.

This is one of my favorittee hot pink polishes. It is hot pink with a blueish-purple shimmer. It's gorgeous and looks really good on my cool skin tone. Applied wonderfully, has a great formula and the brush applicator is nice.

This is agreat, fun colour to liven up the toes or fingers! It's a pinky purple and looks great with a tan-really eye popping. I have it on my toes now. As with all OPI polishes, fantastic quality and the pro-wide brush is a godsend. OPI is by far my favourite nail polish brand, and I never thought I'd stray from Chanel!

Got a pedi at a beauty college thus the 1 for price, they didn't charge me for the polish. Not only did I get a great pedi from a very sweet student, but I fell in love with this color. I never wear pinks, but this rocks all summer long!!!!
***I am still loving this color***

I chose this color when I went to get a mani/pedi and I fell in love with it so I had to get it. It's such a gorgeous color.. I'm constantly staring at my nails whenever I'm wearing it lol. It's a nice hot pink/fushia with purple and blue undertones. I love it because the color looks different in different kinds of light. Definitely one of my favorite polishes ever :)

This color is gorgeous! It's a lovely hot fuchsia pink that would look amazing on anyone.
It looks great with two coats and is long-lasting.
