Nominal GDP is a basic measurement of economic production in an economy. It is using current prices and is unadjusted for inflation. When GDP is adjusted for inflation, it is called Real GDP.
Purchasing power parity GDP is also know as "GDP PPP". It takes into account the relative cost of local goods, services and inflation rates. GDP PPP is adjusted by purchasing power parity index, to better compare economic productivity and standards of living between countries.
For example:
Country A and Country B are having the same Nominal GDP.
If all the same or comparable goods and services are cheaper in Country B, it means it is increasing its GDP PPP.
