Dark and Sexy Nail Polish

Last week we asked you about Black Nail Polish – Love it or Hate it? It looks like Victoria Beckham Loves It, but most of you hated it. A lot of you did point out, however, that other dark colors are sexy and chic for Fall.

As far as I can tell the original dark nail polish craze started with Chanel's "Vamp" in 1994. Vamp is described as a rich dark chocolaty-red, almost black. Apparently the color was discontinued for awhile, but is now back. I have been trying to find it online all morning and it's nowhere to be found, not even on eBay. If anyone finds it, please let us all know!

In the meantime, check out some of my other dark nail polish finds, read more

Essie, "Dark Chocolate Truffle", $7.00, Available here

Bobbi Brown, "Chocolate Cherry", This Limited Edition Color seems to be sold out everywhere, but can be purchased here when it comes in.

OPI, "Lincoln Park After Dark", $6.00, Available here

Revlon, "Vixen", $4.59, Available here

    I recently purchased the revlon vixen... what i like about revlon is that it's cheap and looks good and lasts almost just as long as designer brands.

    i'm wearing vixen right now Laughing out loud

    Dark colors are not goth they are sophisticated when paired with the right ensemble. Lots of professional women are opting for dark colored polish this fall. That being said I like the chocolate truffle polish and I have worn the vamp. Both are gorg.

    I am so glad dark colors are back in style, I always loved the really dark stuff but it wasn't hip to wear

    I went to Neiman Marcus today and they had ONE bottle of Vamp left. They were holding it for a lady, but I convinced them to give it to me instead! I LOVE it! Can't wait to get a manicure/pedicure with it this weekend!

    By the way............on a recent trip to Paris I was informed that Chanel "Vamp" is the same color as Chanel "Rouge Noir". Both are color #18. "Rouge Noir" is the European name, "Vamp" is the U.S. name. Rouge Noir is relatively easy to find on the internet since not too many of us know to look for it! Good luck!

    I think dark nails can be stunning if they are done properly and they aren't chipped or mangled looking. It has to be freshy and perfect otherwise it's just all so wrong!

    I'm wearing Vamp right now...Laughing out loud

    myownworstcritic you're right!! I remember buying Vamp on a trip to New York and I didn't try it until I got home but then I looked at my Rouge Noir and it was the same colour. I felt so silly. I fell for a trend LOL! Embarassed But, I didn't have to buy any new rouge noir for a while after that!! Eye-wink

    Oh yes I love Chanel Vamp only. The others are never quite it. I love to wear the lips and nails. Pretty much in any season:)....
