Periwinkle is a color in the blue to violet family based on the star-like flower Periwinkle (Vinca minor) that goes by the same name.
The flowers of this popular ground cover can be blue, white, purple or a mix of these, depending on the cultivar. The Periwinkle flower blooms in early spring and prefers shady environments.
When looking for a periwinkle nail polish, you’re going to be searching for a blue to purple hybrid that can be bright and sunny, have white or dusty undertones, and even be darker violet in hue. These are all potentials for the color periwinkle.
