Any suggestions for shading and highlighting purple in oils. The base coat I used was Vallejo royal purple to give you an idea of the colour I am talking about.

The mixing complements of purple pigments tends to be greens oddly enough. So try green for the basic shadow mix, then add in black to that for any really dark mixes.
For highlighting I'd always try white first, if that doesn't look quite right experiment with something else - a light earth colour, flesh mixture, white + a touch of blue, white + a touch of red - depends on what you're looking for and what only white isn't giving you.
