Nail Trends: Chanel Goes Purple for Spring 09

Chanel Vendetta Nail Polish

With all the co-motion from the hot new Moscou collection, this little guy was just screamin' to get noticed!  And, darnit I took notice!

For Spring, Chanel introduces two new nail polishes - Django, pinkish peach shimmer and Vendetta, a blue purple with blue and pink shimmer.

Chanel's promo images of Vednetta appeared to be basically a Blurple (Blue + Purple).  So, I wouldn't quite classify Vendetta as a true Blurple like say, OPI's Play til Midnight and neither a "true purple" because there's definitely blue in there.   Did I confuse ya yet?  Colors can be so confusing sometimes, yet so fun!

So, is it dupeable?  Probably.  I have to sort through my Purple's which may take some time considering there's about 300 of them.  And I'm not exaggerating with that number.  Purple is a shade I just can't resist, obviously! lol 

Chanel New Purple Nail Polish Vendetta

Bottom Line - Vendetta is hot!  After wearing it whole day, I felt - well chanely.  Because after all, Chanel's nail polish is probably the closest thing to feeling rich and luxurious without breaking my bank.  And, Honestly I think that's why alot of us love the polish so much.  It's Chanel for cryin' out loud!

Have a good night peeps!  Any takers?

I love this one! WHEN does it come out? I just ordered two of the Moscow ones, the gold and blue. The gold one looks very olive green-y, which is my fav, so I am super excited!

I really love this one too! The spring collections should be hitting makeup counters soon - I'd call your local one first. But, in the meantime this should be available online. I ordered mine at the boutique in Chicago along with my Moscou's. :)

Hi, I'm a new reader here. :) I just wanted to say thanks so much for your pics/coverage on this color. I am a crazy purple nail polish fanatic and I have been waiting forever for Chanel to come out with a purple and this looks like the purple of my dreams! I just ordered one and it should be here by X-mas! woo! I might need a back-up!

Hi Sarah, Thanks so much for stopping by! So glad you found your way here :) I'm also a purple nail polish fanatic - just can't say NO! lol It's about time Chanel expand their horizons :)

I am on the fence about this one. It looks so pretty but I never end up wearing any of the purples that I have unless they are vampy. And this one isn't really vampy. I think once I file my nails down a bit I'll warm up to this color :)

Bought this just before x-mas. Nice color, a tad darker than what I was hoping for/expecting, but still a great purple. Anyone who is a purple lover will adore it!

I'd love to see what dupeables you came up with for this color! :)

Wow, you looked! Now, advertise your site here!
Right in the middle of the discussion!

I love this colour and its look great on your toenails too especially with your gladiator sandals

I like how this polish looks in your pictures. But, when I paint my nails, it comes out really dark, almost black-ish. How did you get it so light and shimmery?

I have dressmaker, but I will definitely be running out and grabbing Teddy Bare! Great post!

I tried Deluxe Chocolate last week and loved it! Wicked will be my next mani. And I've been thinking about ordering the new Fall rose shades, but they don't seem very fall to me.... so I haven't decided yet.

Those are great dupes! I've always had good results from Milani, so I think I'll be looking for Dressmaker. I don't own any Chanel, and don't expect to either.

Wow, I will agree with the others, Avon is bumping it up a notch... Thanks for the swatches Steph, they both look great on you!

I've never tried Milani, but I'm adoring Dressmaker. I think I need go to find a Milani retailer! :D Thanks!!

STEPH, can I tell you how much I missed your blogging!!!! For real, I am so HAPPY you're blogging again you totally made my day with this post!! and OMG everyone make sure you check out the Photo Gallery, I can't believe i never knew about it!!

Regina said, on Sep 1st, 2010 4:22 am regarding Splurge vs Steal: Chanel and Milani
Great post! It's very helpful. I already have the Jordana (which is the same as the Milani Dressmaker) so I don't need the Chanel which is impossible to get a hand on. Thank you so much for this comparison!
