Looking for a budget friendly dupe of Chanel Rouge Noir nail polish?

[Justkoko]

Just that really, that lovely blackened red. No7 used yo do one years ago which I had but I can't seem to find it now.

Essie Wicked

Literally just opened the thread to say Essie Wicked, which I have just painted my nails with tonight.

Me too. Did it last night. Essie is such better varnish than Chanel too.

Fab, I was studying essie polishes last night, wicked looks very very dark, almost black, can you still see the burgundy?

I was also looking at 'sole partner' and 'model clicks'. The look slightly less dark. I want a proper dark vampy red without it appearing black. I'm quite pale and at risk of looking a bit gothy!

Sali Hughes wrote a column on affordable brands and she reckons that Essie is top-notch. I ordered Hot Cocoa on that basis and I may buy Wicked too.

I have Rouge Noir and I would avoid. The brush is thin and the polish doesn't have the staying power of other brands. I always use my other similar nail polish colours in preference;

Bourjois 1 seconde Rouge Obscur or
Revlon Vixen

Both easy to apply and nice deep colour with 1-2 coats.

Wicked and Rouge Noir are both very, very dark, OP. You might want something more rouge, less noir!

I also opened the thread to say Essie Wicked! You could try Essie Bordeaux if you want something a bit more red?

I think that I do want a little more red than wicked, but not brown. Definitely a proper dark oxblood. Vampy.

Rimmel 60 shine have some good dark reds

Sorry posted too soon - Darkest desires is a good one.

I probably seem fussy over it, but I'm quite pale skinned with neutral ish undertones leaning to pink. Some shades are more flattering than others and I'd like to get it right.

Eg. Everyone loves essie ballet slippers as a suits all neutral. It's too white on me and looks odd. Essie vanity fairest (slightly pinker) is my favourite barely there pink. It's spot on.

Gold always looks terrible. Best shades are rimmel red ginger or max factor ultra violet in the summer. I need my perfect winter oxblood! Its like my hands need seasonal analysis😆

This may help op?

Sorry.. posted too soon!

OPI All-A Bordeaux the Sled is very, very similar and is one of my favourites!

Literally just came on to say Wicked! If you want to go even more budget friendly, Essence (available at Wilko) do one for £1.80 and it lasts as well as more expensive brands. Far better than Chanel, which I find chips within a day, even with a top coat.

Love this polish and brush - this colour is too dark for me but sounds like it would be perfect for you!

Have got a mini bottle of essie bordeaux, if it's lighter than I'm after,I'm going straight in for wicked!

OPI Lincoln Park After Dark?

Essie Shearling Darling is a lovely dark burgundy.

Nars Chinatown might hit the right spot for you...
