Chanel Fortissimo Le Vernis Nail Colour ($27.00 for 0.40 fl. oz.) is a deepened, midnight blue with fine pearl shimmer. It had mostly opaque coverage after two coats of polish, and after two coats, it had a smooth, even appearance, but one coat looks streaky. The texture was slightly thin but workable, and the polish lasted for eight days on me with minor tip wear. Wet 'n' Wild Mazel Tov Madness (LE, $3.99) is darker (95% similar). MAC Midnight Ocean (LE, $12.00) is more muted, warmer (90% similar). Formula X Beacon (P, $12.50) is more shimmery, lighter (85% similar). Zoya Song (P, $9.00) is more shimmery, lighter, brighter (85% similar). See comparison swatches / view dupes side-by-side.

Chanel Vibrato Le Vernis Nail Colour ($27.00 for 0.40 fl. oz.) is a brightened cobalt blue with a cream consistency and more of a satin-like dry down. If this had dried down to a really glossy finish, I think the thinner consistency wouldn’t have been as noticeable. The formula runs thin, so it shows all the lines on my nails and really makes a base coat/ridge-filling base coat necessary for my nails (or perhaps a third coat, since this was only semi-opaque after two coats!). It lasted for seven days with minor tip wear. Illamasqua Force (P, $17.00) is darker, more pigmented, better quality (95% similar). Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Pond (P, $10.00) is lighter, more muted, more pigmented (90% similar). Butter London Blagger (P, $15.00) is darker, warmer (90% similar). MAC Breezy Blue (LE, $16.00) is darker, more muted (85% similar). See comparison swatches / view dupes side-by-side.
