I want nails this colour.

I actually own both the polishes in the photo and they don't like this at all Confused.

Can anyone recommend a very dark vampy wine-y burgundy. Red rather than purple. No brown undertones. Is obviously dark red rather than looking totally black. Would prefer not metallic.

Anyone?

This one is a rimmel one, and looks similar to what you are after? Give me 10 mins and I'll dig it out to see what it's called

The new chanel chataigne

Midnight in Moscow by OPI is a lovely deep burgundy red too?

PoppyBlossom · 08/09/2015 11:02

How many coats are you applying op? I think that colour might need three thinner ones.

NotTodaySatan · 08/09/2015 11:02

hulla it's not Black Cherries is it? Too purple if so.

Chataigne is too dark. Looks black in the photos

Midnight in Moscow has strong brown tones that I dislike.

Did I mention I was fussy....?!

Oops, just realised that BCC is in your original post and you don't like it...!

Essie Wicked or Nails Inc Victoria

daisydalrymple · 08/09/2015 11:09

Am assuming rouge noir is discounted already??? Oldie but always my go to for this kind of shade.

Carpaccio · 08/09/2015 14:35

Chanel Rouge Noir would be my suggestion too. A cheaper alternative could be Nails Inc Victoria.

Carpaccio · 08/09/2015 14:36

And I don't think they'll ever discontinue Rouge Noir - it's a classic!

Gillybobs · 08/09/2015 14:42

essie Sole mate, fab dark plum red

NotTodaySatan · 08/09/2015 14:45

Thanks all.

I'm gonna buy Rouge Noir and maybe the Nails Inc one too. Have spotted one by L'Oreal called Haute Couture Red which looks really close to what I'm after. Will try to hunt it down.

I have Sole Mate and it's straight up purple on me. No red at all.

Also, look at Crabtree & Evelyn 'Pomegranate'

maybemyrtle · 08/09/2015 15:21

Rouge Noir is a lovely colour for about 5 mins but chips ridiculously easily. Really wouldn't recommend it...

NotTodaySatan · 08/09/2015 15:33

Good to know myrtle. I've bought the L'oreal one which I think looks like a very close dupe but has much better reviews.

Opi black cherry chutney

ForSaleChesterDraws · 08/09/2015 21:14

The finger nearest the top of the bottle and the ring finger are OPI Every Month is Oktoberfest

The pinkie and the other finger are OPI Black Cherry Chutney.

NotTodaySatan · 08/09/2015 21:16

I know Chester. I have both of them and they don't look anything like the photo! They're flat looking - nowhere near as vibrant.

keepon the No.7 one is too light and pink but it's very pretty Smile

I would say the nails in the photo look like cnd vinylux dark lava too

Westielove · 09/09/2015 00:54

Do you use a top coat on your polish? It looks like there's a high shine top coat used on the picture which might make it look less flat.

NotTodaySatan · 09/09/2015 07:15

Yeah Westie I always use a top coat. And I do at least two, usually three coats until I get full opacity.

I think photos of nails online are often filtered/shopped. I have bought loads of polished based on pics I've seen on google that have turned out to be nothing like they looked. It's frustrating!

Anyway, the CND one is too purple. The search continues!
