Chanel 18 Vamp and 18 Rouge Noir

Nothing to Disclose
*This product may not be Cruelty Free 


Today I have a couple of Chanel polishes to show you that you've probably seen a million times. But they're so gorgeous, what's one more time?

Before I show them to you, just a little explanation of what these two polishes with the same number (18) really are. Vamp, originally, in Europe, was not a shimmer. A few years back, Chanel re-released Vamp in the US but it was NOT the same Vamp - this one had a shimmer. They also released a creme/crelly version in Europe with the same number called Rouge Noir. I have both for you today.




Unfortunately, I don't have the original 90s Vamp to be sure it's the same as Rouge Noir, but I've been told it's the same. I've also been told the original Vamp was a creme though and Rouge Noir is definitely a crelly/jelly formula. So there you go.

Also MOST unfortunately, I don't have Metallic Vamp to show you, which is quite different still from these two. It's a fantastic metallic purple. *sigh* There's also a Rouge Tres Noir  or Very Vamp. All so confusing!

Chanel Malice - Swatches and Review


Okay, okay...so I'm eating my words. But oh they are a black cherry, luscious mouthful.

I passed on Chanel Malice online. I passed TWICE when I saw it in person. The words? It's not that unique. It will be too metallic. (I hate metallic reds.) I have others that are close enough.I'm so happy that I picked it up this evening, though.

Malice is a blackened cherry Bordeaux kind of color with a strong inner glow. The formula is really good on this one and application was smooth and easy. I used two coats for opacity and one coat of Poshe as a top coat.

So...can you believe I kept passing this one up? Sometimes I just don't know about me.

Chanel polishes are available online at chanel.com and various other e-tailers and retailers worldwide. Here in the US they retail for $26.00.
