I've been looking for this colour of nail varnish for a while without success. I love dark nails in the winter Smile Could anyone recommend a really, really dark, almost black burgundy colour? Thanks

Chanel Rouge Noir is a classic if it's in budget.

EmmarrrrgghhhMacGhhoooollll · 29/10/2016 10:58

Placemarking out of interest, I fancy something with a tiny little bit of sparkle in it too

MarchEliza2 · 29/10/2016 10:59

Also came on to say Rouge Noir. Gotta be.

BossWitch · 29/10/2016 10:59

Was going to recommend the chanel rouge noir as well.

Rouge noir if normal polish. I'm still trying to find a good shellac replica

purplepebbles · 29/10/2016 11:01

Was going to be a Rouge Noir from me too!

Dizzybintess · 29/10/2016 11:02

I have had my pot of rouge noir for 12 years and it's not dried up. It's amazing.

EmmarrrrgghhhMacGhhoooollll · 29/10/2016 11:03

Oh I like that

Gah! I threw my rouge noir out a year or two ago as it was so old and lumpy. I'll buy another bottle. Thanks all.

I'm wearing my Rouge Noir as I type. It's lush but it can chip if you are not careful.

Mamia15 · 29/10/2016 16:04

Essy has a similar shade, can't remember the name and so does Rimmel (Black Cherries)

Mamia15 · 29/10/2016 16:07

Essie Wicked

Mamia15 · 29/10/2016 16:08

Or Essie Sole Mate

Bloopbleep · 29/10/2016 16:08

I've got to say the Rimmel black cherries lasts ages and doesn't chip easily. It's the only one of theirs that I still wear.

sconebonjovi · 29/10/2016 16:11

Barry M midnight Gelly polishes are cheap as chips and fab. Blackurrant is a purple/burgundy black and black cherry is a reddish burgundy black!

HappyAxolotl · 29/10/2016 16:14

Models Own have some gorgeous dark burgundies. They're cheap and I really rate them. Diamond Luxe Marquise Maroon (has some sparkle to it) and HyperGel Brunette Red is Rouge Noir-like.

MelbourneClown03 · 29/10/2016 16:20

Another fan of Rimmel's 'Black Cherries' and recently bought a shade from Clair's Accessories Shock
Can't remember the name of it but it's one of their gel polishes and lasts for ages.

OPI Midnight in Moscow

Dulcimena · 29/10/2016 16:24

Rouge Noir chips way too easily. Nice colour but sub-par performance. I chucked it because it drove me nuts. OPI has some lovely almost-blacks that last much longer.

LuckySantangelo1 · 29/10/2016 16:46

Essie Wicked. The quality is loads better than chAnel & it dries quicker too.

misskelly · 29/10/2016 16:51

I would suggest the Barry M gel in black current, it goes on really well. But, it does look black, it is hard to see the red in it in certain lights.

Cosmicglitterghoul · 29/10/2016 16:54

Barry M, all the way.

EmmarrrrgghhhMacGhhoooollll · 29/10/2016 17:04

Just brought Essie Wicked, needs a tidy up but what do you think?

Rouge noir or Cheerywood from Jessica both excellent, infact jessica one is better.
