Purple tang... and blue tang huh... it depends. The thing is that you
may receive the fish in same size or either if there territorial they might
be a little unfriendly. But with a great chance it will hopefully workout dont worry.
Purple tangs are peaceful starting from Juvenile and to adult size. Blue tangs really get along with yellow tangs often. I would prefer purple tangs with yellow tangs. But with my chances i say they will get along including the Blonde Naso.
Provide it with lots of room to roam around in and some live rock with naturally growing algae and/or blanched lettuce and brine shrimp to entice it to eat.

To be even more clear (make sure) you put the fish
in the tank at the same time/together. They shouldn't have
any problems together.

Purple tangs can be very aggressive and territorial. How large of an aquarium are we talking about here? As for Naso Tangs (Naso lituratus? --"Lipstick Tang") they are fairly peaceful although they require ample space for swimming as they are very active. Same goes for the blue hippo tang.
For the best results either add them all at once, or add the purple tang LAST. This is preferential as the Purple Tang in my experience tends to become much more aggressive towards con-specifics if they are allowed to establish territory without others present. This is all subjective to the size of the tank though..

I think a lot of it depends on the size of your tank & also the size of the fish
Shouldn't be a problem though, the purple's attitude shouldn't be to developed yet & since the other tangs are quite a bit different you should be OK. Just do like what others stated.... at the tangs together.... I usually like to feed the fish before I add them to distract the fish & sometimes I change my rockwork around a bit & I turn the lights off.
