Chanel nail polishes: features and color palette

Chanel nail polishes can be safely called real works of art. The laconic and elegant design of the bottle beckons to try out stunning colors and shades. There is a constant debate about these varnishes. Someone does not like the obviously inflated price, while others are completely delighted with one bottle design. A separate place in the criticism is given to the brush. Some are sure that this is the perfect brush, while others, on the contrary, cannot find an approach to it. The article discusses the features of Le Vernis varnish. Its advantages and disadvantages. In any case, it is worth trying it on yourself before drawing any conclusions.

The varnish line consists of 38 colors. Each color produces a perfectly glossy finish. The brush is quite wide, which allows you to easily apply the product in just a few strokes. The consistency is liquid, but not so much that it spreads. The varnish is easy to apply without leaving streaks. The colors are quite saturated, which allows you to apply them without layering on each other (apply just one light layer). Drying speed depends on the color and the number of layers applied. Average drying time is about 10 minutes.

Below are the most popular and iconic colors of the line.

• Chanel Rose Exubérant. Intense fuchsia, explosive rose, raspberry pink aggression - it's all about Rose Exubérant. The iconic shade is striking in its brightness and freshness of pink. This shade is rightfully called the first varnish that does not give a neon shade, but at the same time gives the maximum brightness and saturation of pink.
• Chanel Black Satin. The absolute opposite of the previous shade. A deep black shade looks expensive and sophisticated. This shade proved to the whole world that black varnish can be beautiful and graceful.Many stars are admirers of this color.

• Chanel Ballerina. Delicate, fragile, light - this is how you can describe this beautiful shade. The light pink color looks very graceful and gives the hands a touch of elegance. This varnish is able to give even the most ordinary hands an aristocratic look. The color can be varied by applying it. Coating in one layer will only slightly add a pink tint to the nails, while coating in two or three coats will enhance it and emphasize the grace of your hands. The Ballerina shade is ideal for everyday manicure as well as for special occasions. Looks especially gorgeous in tandem with tanned hands.
• Chanel Vendetta. Deep and daring, alluring and mystical. This varnish combines a deep eggplant color with a purple hue. Glossy and iridescent. You can and want to look at it. Different lighting allows you to see more and more new facets of this shade. A real explosion of color in one bottle.

• Chanel Vamp. The shade that made a splash. An absolute hit. When it hit store shelves in 1994, it sold out in minutes. An exciting dark red shade. This varnish has won the hearts of many stars. Daring but elegant. This color deserves its place on any dressing table.

In addition to fixed assets, the line also includes additional products.

• La Base - protective and smoothing base for nails. A special place among all varnishes is occupied by a protective and leveling base for nails. A real must-have. This base is applied to cleansed nails before nail polish is applied. Due to its composition (it contains argan oil), the base evens out the nail surface and allows the varnish to stay on the nails longer. The manufacturer also recommends it as a standalone product. Its functions also include getting rid of yellow nails and protecting from the environment. If there is very little time for a manicure, then it is quite possible to limit yourself to applying this base to create the effect of neat and well-groomed nails.
• Le Top Coat - protective coating for nails, giving shine. This tool is applied after applying the varnish itself. Its functions: to give shine to nails and to fix the varnish. The color becomes even more vivid and saturated. Wearing time increases significantly. Chanel varnishes are not recommended to be used without this protective coating, as the manicure looks unfinished.

In the first place among its advantages, of course, is the variety of colors: non-trivial, bright, alluring, unparalleled among other brands. Each color is a whole spectrum of emotions. Every woman and girl will certainly find the same, "her" color. Each shade looks expensive and elegant. The design of the bottle belongs to the second important advantage of this brand's varnishes. Such a bottle will certainly decorate the dressing table. It's nice to hold it in your hands. Thick glass looks presentable and luxurious. You don't want to part with such a bottle, but you want to acquire more and more new colors. The saturation of the coating is also a definite plus.

There are also several downsides.

• Long drying time. We'll have to be patient. Perhaps for some people the drying time of 10-20 minutes of varnish will not seem so long, but many complain that it is quite difficult to tolerate and it takes a lot of nerves before the varnish dries completely.
• Difficulty in applying. It would seem that the brush is wide and the product gives a dense coverage. But many people note the difficulty in uniform coverage. Streaks may appear when coats are applied.
• Difficulty in choosing your own shade. Some people point out that colors that look amazing on some hands may not work at all in others. Some shades are so complex that you can only decide whether it suits you or not with the help of a test on yourself.
