I posted asking how to make a sheer pearlescent polish appear less sheer. Many people replied I should try putting it over a darker polish. Thanks for the advice everyone! I did that with this purple I had on hand (I'm at my partners, where I keep a smaller collection of nail polishes).
As I suspected, it almost completely drowned out the purple hue you can see in the bottle (image from original post below). It's kinda pretty in its own right though. What I don't like is that you can tell that the purple isn't completely even, as tends to be the case with only one coat of a darker colour. Can't do more coats without it peeling, either.
I think I might try a light colour underneath next, to see whether that makes all the shades in the bottle show up!
