I also swatched a few other colours to road-test the formula. Hopefully Karl Lagerfeld will wake up from his enchanted dream, read this review, and then surprise us all with new trend-setting colours and a better brush!
For good. In Australia, here. What do you think about the new colour range? Did you enjoy this post? Similarly, the influence that the Chanel's Le Vernis a. The nails tab on the brand's website practically serves as a launchpad for any given season's trend report.
So when Chanel recently announced that it was changing the formula, adding some shades but keeping cult favorites, like Vamp and Ballerina and introducing a gel topcoat , we lost our minds—so we tried them out.
The first thing you'll notice about the bottle—which is still the same shape—is that the label is slightly different. There are fewer words on the front, which adds an extra level of elegance to the packaging. When you pull up the cap and twist off the top, you'll see that the versatile brush we've always loved is the same, but as you swipe on the color, it's extra shiny and slightly thicker than before—two qualities we seriously appreciate.
The best news? Plus, harmful UV rays and serious nail damage are just two of many negative side effects from that long lasting mani. In response, a number of polish brands have poured plenty of research into developing formulas that claim to emulate the effects of gel, minus the frightening consequences. Chanel is one of the brands that has jumped on that bandwagon, but with a rather serious approach: They have completely replaced their cult-favorite Le Vernis polish range with a totally new formula.
Available in 16 different colorways, this five-free formula is also enriched with Bioceramics and Ceramides, which promise to strengthen and improve nails. Similarly to the gel process, this finishing product is activated by light. Manicures tend to start chipping off my nails within the first five hours of application, but this was not the case with Le Vernis. That's great, but it also means the polishes can be a little temperamental when it comes to truly lasting.
I painted this one on my middle finger, and it was the first to recede from the edges a bit, which I suspect is due to the fact that it's my longest finger and is subject to the most contact day-to-day. Otherwise, it made it to day nine sans chips, but it lifted just a bit at the cuticle. I painted it on my ring finger, and wound up with a small chip at the tip just four days in.
By day eight, there were multiple chips around the edges of the finger. Not ideal. It started receding at the tip four days in, and then got a tiny chip just at the tip six days in. But by day nine, it hadn't gotten any worse than that — and the sheen of that dark, rose shade was still there.
The moral of the story, if you want a long-lasting manicure? Use a good base- and topcoat, paint on super-thin layers and always be sure to let each coat dry thoroughly. And don't always assume that the most expensive nail polish is one one with the most staying power.
