V for Vendetta: Chanel's New Must-Have Polish

I think I've made my feelings clear on Chanel's nail polishes before: I adore them. This is one brand who just seem to be able to effortlessly create a must-have shade and the resultant buzz is always massive. Rouge Noir was arguably as big as Pulp Fiction, the film it showcased in, and they've had umpteen hits on their hands since. Blue Satin was my 2008 fave and I've already got one in top position for '09, even though it's only the 4th of February.

Vendetta is that polish. Part of the Spring makeup range, Bohemian Fantasy, it's a deep, slightly shimmering purple that looks best on shorter nails. Like all Chanel polishes, I think you need two coats for proper depth of colour and to mask any streaks, but if you've steady hands, you may get away with one.

Price? Lets keep it relative.  Chanel sunglasses: a couple of hundred. A classic Chanel 2.55 quilted bag: a thousand plus. Bottle of Vendetta: €21.
