Comparison Request

Chanel Rouge Noir vs. piCture pOlish Vampire

This morning I'm still working on some great collection posts for you but I thought I'd show you a really quick comparison between Chanel Rouge Noir and piCture pOlish Vampire.

These are not dupes, but the finished manicures do have that same vampy look about them.

As you can see, Rouge Noir is more of a crelly while Vampire is a true jelly.

This is ONE COAT of each...

As you can see, the opacity is quite different. Below is two coats of each...

I stopped at 2 coats of Rouge Noir and kept building Vampire...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There you have it! Not dupes at all. Vampire's jelly formula is great for jelly sandwiches while the crelly formula of Rouge Noir makes it opaque in two coats. So you need both. Sorry!

SinfulShine Mirror Mirror vs. Chanel Rouge Noir


One coat each...

Two coats each...

They both have a jelly formula. They both apply the same and are about the same consistency. Not too thick and not too thin. SinfulShine Mirror Mirror is a bit lighter with two coats than Chanel Rouge Noir. I had no chipping with either one and only slight, normal tip wear with both.

Chanel Rouge Noir is $27 and SinfulShine is regularly $2.99 but they're on sale at Walgreens for 2 for $4 right now.

I can't believe I'm about to say this (you guys know I love my Chanels) but in this particular case, I actually prefer the SinfulShine because it's just a tad lighter and actually reads like a vampy red on me in all lighting, while Chanel Rouge Noir reads black on me in some lighting. Yes, I know...heresy.

What do YOU think? Are they close enough?
