Right after whipping off Peridot, I decided to go with a real classic, and painted my nails with this, Chanel Rouge Noir. This is an old, old, bottle as I've been wearing Rouge Noir on and off since the 90's.
It's a dark, wine-red creme, a bit gothy, but I find it goes with everything, and always looks classy.
Wear is about average, I tend to get three/four days or so before chipping, if I use a sticky basecoat like Orly Bonder, and this mani was three days old when I took the pics, hence the tipwear in the next photo:
This just reminds me that I need to get much, much better at painting my nails ...mind, before I started this blog, I never used to paint them at all ...
The Fine Print - This was a purchase by me. Possibly in another century. Or it could be a backup bottle. I'm not sure.

Oohh rubs hands together with glee, autumn is on the way and a good excuse for fabulous deep winey red / murky green varnishes. I too never used to paint my nails but now I take a leaf out of Joan's book and find the bolder the varnish the greater the disguising of the age spotted hands, the eyes just slide on by. Thanks for this. x
ReplyDeleteOh I am so ready to get back into autumn nail colours! Definitely need to get my painting technique back in line first - shades like Rouge Noir don't let you get away with being slapdash like I usually am.
