Chanel Le Vernis Vertigo (available here) - $26
It's not yet July, and summer is just starting here, but in the world of makeup it's already autumn! While I was waiting for the Bombay Express collection from Chanel (which is currently available online), pieces from the fall 2012 collection - Les Essentiels de Chanel - were already available at Nordstrom. Thanks to their fabulous (and free) shipping service, I got a few of the products. My favorite is the Chanel nail polish - Vertigo.
Vertigo is a dark reddish-brownish grey - so dark it's almost black. There is a fine shimmer scattered throughout the polish, but had I not read about this in other blogs I would have never known. The polish looks a dull, dark grey in the bottle, and I was a bit disappointed when I saw it. On my nails, it goes on a creamy, dark grey with undertones of maroon and brown. There is no sparkle or shimmer visible (very typical of so many Chanel polishes), but it does give a depth and complexity to the color and makes it just so beautiful.
Two coats of Chanel Le Vernis Vertigo on my nails. |

ReplyDeleteHi Cali! I love Avon polishes..not seen this green-black one...you post some time na..it sounds really pretty..
Deleteyeahhh..they'v recently launched it..they call it urban jungle..would post it within a day or two..currently too wearing it!! he he he! :D :D
DeleteOh woww...it sounds nice..is that like a collection of polishes?
DeleteIs this a black one? The shimmers are prominent in Sabrina's pics.
ReplyDeleteNo it's not black..its like a dark reddish grey. Sabrina got the shimmers so beautifully in her photos, that's why I linked to her post :D But it's only seen in the bottle that way, and only in the sunlight. On the nails, you have to really look for it to see it. A lot of the Chanel cream NPs are like that - they have this microshimmer that you can easily miss noticing :D
DeleteOooops! Sorry Appu..that got deleted!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is a pretty color, though, isn't it? :D
ReplyDeleteIt's pretty but it doesn't stand out for me. If the shimmer were visible, I might feel differently, otherwise I am not wowed by this. Sorry Chanel!
ReplyDeleteHii Becca :) Naaah the shimmer doesn't stand out...maybe under bright sunligh :D I don't think of these as shimmery polishes, is just added in there to give a twist to the color and not really for the glimmer factor..or so I think :P
Deletesorry I do not like black nail polish at all even if its Chanel :-(
ReplyDeleteAwww..that's okay....a lot of people don't :)
