Vendetta....falling back in love

For a while now I have been in a nail varnish rut - same old colours, day in day out.  Basically either Mod About You, any slightly neon red/orange or Max Factor mini Cloudy Blue (seen below...lovely but doesnt last)



Max Factor Cloudy Blue 


So the other morning I scrabbled through my nail varnish drawer (the ones that aren't kept in the fridge as I ran out of space) and found an old favourite:



Vendetta by Chanel

I applied it on the tube on my way to a meeting and was inspired by how easily it went on and how I didn't need 4 coats to get the desired opacity (China Glaze I am  looking at you!). Its a beautiful vampy purple with a slight shimmer in the bottle but not noticeable when applied. It lasts well and looks good on short and long talons.

And it has a fabulous name!

What nail varnishes have you recently rediscovered? let me know....

until next time ..........xo

  1. Oh that looks gorgeous! I haven't seen it before. I asked an SA what polish she was wearing the other day - a beautiful purple. She said it's by NYC with Clarins topcoat (was very glossy) - I def want to try this next as I'm a bit bored with my polishes atm!

  2. I love it and would highly recommend even at Chanel's exorbitant prices. Very vampy and bohemian! Intrigued by Clarins glossy topcoat. I usually use Seche Vite but fallen out of love recently - the OPI rapid top coat just isn't glossy enough x
