My Favorite Red and a Chanel Reds and Vamps Comparison

Nothing to Disclose



There are LOTS of reds I love. Chanel Dragon, Illamasqua Throb, Chanel Rouge Noir, Zoya ZsaZsa...but the ONE red that is THE perfect shade of red for me when I'm not in a super vampy mood is Chanel Rouge Fatal #487. If I'm in a hurry, the perfectly creamy formula is a ONE-COATER. And it's a cool-toned red, so it's perfect with my skin.







To see where it fits in, color-wise, with other Chanel reds and vamps, meet me after the jump...







So I pulled out the Chanel reds and vamps that I have (not all of them by any stretch) and here's a nail wheel comparison...






A closer look...





My vampy favorite is, of course, Rouge Noir #18. However, if the $27 price tag is too hefty, I've found a really good substitute for $2.00 - it's not a true dupe because it's just a hair lighter but the formula and jelly finish are the same. (Yes, I said that. Heresy? No, just being honest. I still ADORE Chanel, but I calls 'em as I sees 'em!) To see what that is, check out my post here.

I only wish Rouge Fatal wasn't discontinued. It figures that anything that becomes my FAVORITE or my go-to will be discontinued. Happens with lipstick too. The jerks!

What is YOUR favorite red polish? Any brand or finish...

    1. Well I assumed it was DCs - maybe I'm wrong! I can't find it anywhere except places like eBay.

  3. 1...1...Ok I can't narrow it down to 1, I can do 3! Essie Really Red, OPI The Spy Who Loved Me & OPI Quarter Of A Cent-Cherry. I also can't live without China Glaze Ruby Pumps, Sally Hansen Honeymoon Red & Orly Torrid. Ok so it was 6 but they are all must haves in my book!

  4. I have them all except Canicule, I so hope to get it one day - and needless to say I love them all.
    Depending on the mood they are gorgeous each and every one - but Tentation holds a special placed in my heart....
