Chanel Rouge Noir (18) Le Vernis ($27.00 for 0.40 fl. oz.) is described as a “black red.” It’s a deep, dark purpled berry with a cream finish. It had mostly opaque color coverage with a slightly translucent, stained-like quality to it that made it seem very rich on the nail. The consistency wasn’t too thick or too thin, so it applied easily. I get around seven days of wear with Chanel’s formula with minor tip wear but no chipping. MAC Purple Majesty (LE, $16.00)(100% similar). Urban Decay Wrecked (LE, ) is warmer (95% similar). Cult Nails Lamestain (P, $12.00)(100% similar). Color Club Fashion Moment (P, )(100% similar). Rescue Beauty Lounge Drifter (LE, $20.00) is warmer (95% similar). Tom Ford Beauty Black Cherry (LE, $35.00) is darker (95% similar). Essie Shearling Darling (P, $8.00) is warmer (90% similar). Deborah Lippmann Single Ladies (LE, $19.00) is warmer (90% similar). China Glaze Velvet Bow (LE, $7.50) is lighter, warmer (95% similar). MAC Blueblood (LE, $16.00) is warmer (95% similar). Zoya Anja (P, $9.00) is cooler (95% similar). China Glaze Naughty & Nice (LE, $7.50) is darker (95% similar). See comparison swatches / view dupes side-by-side.

Chane Rose Fusion (757) Le Vernis ($27.00 for 0.40 fl. oz.) is described as a “luminous purple grey.” It’s a medium-dark purple taupe with a metallic shimmer that looks browner in some lighting, purpler in others. It is a chameleon of a shade, but it doesn’t seem to be a genuine duochrome, just multi-faceted with different shades of shimmer. It was opaque after two coats, and the polish’s texture seemed a little thick. There are noticeable brush lines from the metallic shimmer, so it takes a steady hand and some patience to minimize their appearance. Marc Jacobs Beauty Patsy (164) (P, $18.00) is less shimmery, lighter (90% similar). Chanel Quartz (LE, $28.00) is warmer (85% similar). Revlon Rich (P, $4.99) is darker, cooler (85% similar). Illamasqua Facet (LE, $17.00) is less shimmery, darker (80% similar). See comparison swatches / view dupes side-by-side.

Chane Lame Rouge Noir Le Top Coat ($27.00 for 0.40 fl. oz.) is described as a “shimmering black red.” It’s a pinky-red tinted clear base with larger gold sparkle. The key with this one is to really shake the bottle prior to using, because the glitter they use seems heavy to the point where it all sinks to the bottom of the bottle. The base is definitely tinted and will bring out the pinks in the nail, but it will obviously complement Rouge Noir polish as well. The glitter had good density in one coat, so it will work as a top coat well, and it added a ton of glossy shine. Cult Nails Walk of Shame (DC, $12.00) is more shimmery (90% similar). L'Oreal The True Gold (LE, ) is more shimmery (90% similar). Dior Golden Shock (001) (LE, $28.00) is more shimmery (90% similar). See comparison swatches / view dupes side-by-side.
