CHANEL Vendetta: Mysteriously Seductive
Right after my manicure with Rescue Beauty Lounge in Mismas a few weeks ago, I lovingly declared that my nail color for the season would be purple.
And indeed, I found my staple color this year and it’s CHANEL Le Vernis ($23 US) in Vendetta, a limited edition re-promoted shade from last winter.
I love me some vampy shades all year round and this deep royal purple with shimmering blue flecks is as dark as they come without being black.
In regular light, it’s very easy to mistake this shade for a typical goth black but in the sunlight, you can see the true color and I love it. The finish is silky and exquisite and easy does it in two coats.
Aside from the one week that I’m going to be sporting some bright fuchsia in Mexico next month, I’m going to be wearing Vendetta all season long (and then some) until the spring rolls around again.
CHANEL Le Vernis for Winter 2009 in Diabolic, Vendetta, and Forbidden are now available online or on counters for your polishing pleasure.

That is sexy! Reminds me a bit of… Misa blue blood? I think it’s called.

Hi Fresco Phyrra!
I just tried to look it up on Scrangie and it looks to be similar to Misa Fatal Attraction, although this has a darker base.

I love all the darks she featured on that post. What are you wearing on your nails today?

My nails are NAKED today! I couldn’t decide what to put on them last night. I’ll probably do China Glaze Fortune Teller and Dreamsicle, since I’m feelin’ all Halloweeny.

What a beautiful color. You’ll have to let us know how it wears.

Hi Fresco Phyrra,
Dreamsicle is super sassy! That would be my vote for sure
Do you know what you’re going to dress up as for Halloween yet? I’m going to be boring Peppermint Patty but it won’t be so bad since a bunch of us are dressing up as characters from the Peanuts gang.

Hi Heather,
CHANEL usually wears pretty well for me. I got my manicure on Saturday and it’s virtually chip-free today. I really love it! Are you wearing anything on your nails today?
Since Phyrra just reminded me that Halloween is around the corner, I think I want to do some fun nail art next week.

It depends which party I end up going to. If I go to a regular party, probably a vampire, though I’ve had requests to do a bunny. If I go elsewhere, a succubus.

Hey Marisol,
YAY for Vendetta! I’m so glad you like it.. isn’t it the most gorgeous deep dark purple? People tell me that it’s nice that it’s not completely black.
