The first polish color that came to mind was Rimmel London Wild Orchid.  It is a great match for this color, and it might be going on clearance at a CVS near you. I hope that Rimmel doesn't abandon the color, because I really do love it.

And because I'm fresh off the Seven Day DIY Gel-ish challenge, I couldn't just wear one color. I decided to attempt a water marble...my first in a very long time. It didn't turn out half bad.

Colors Used
Rimmel Wild Orchid
OCC Strumpet
Maybelline Color Show Amethyst Ablaze
