Reviewing: Chanel Black Satin Nailpolish
Purchased at: The Bay     Price: $25.00 CAD

A few years ago I bought Chanel Black Satin nailpolish, it was very difficult to get your hands on, it was sold out everywhere before it even hit the stores! I was lucky enough to be working in the department so I was able to get one! I remember in the 1990s I was in love with Chanel Vamp polish, it was my favorite polish, I saved up all my babysitting money to buy one, it was my first department store brand product, and I loved it, not to mention it was Chanel!

So I couldn't wait to get what was sure to be my new favorite Chanel polish, Black Satin. I seen in ads in every magazine, every celebrity was wearing the shade, it was everywhere. So, when I finally got mine, I couldn't wait to get home and try it on!

The color is a deep real black, not glossy, and you will see little scratch marks on it if not careful. I did apply base and top coat. I loved the color, loved that it was more matte than glossy.

Hated that by the end of the day I already had to touch up, and the next morning hadto reapply another coat! While I was sleeping, somehow this polish chipped so bad! There is no lasting power at all to this! I don't remember Vamp being such poor quality like Black Satin! I have since tried other brands in black, and find that the drugstore brands are much longer lasting! Sally Hansen Salon lasts FOREVER, and is actually difficult to get off, Avon Warm Black is also long lasting. I still like looking at the bottle on my vanity though lol!

Wow and for $25 it didn't last. That's too bad.

I like the bottle too but I know I would never wear it. It's too bad it was so expensive.

Yes it was, just paying for the name and packaging, it would be nice if the quality was there for such a big name brand!

Thats unfortunate that the quality isn't there. I love Chanel nail polish and I guess I know to stay away from this one.

It could just be this color that is poor in quality, like I said Vamp was a dark color, not black, but it did last longer than a day before chipping. Black Satin literally flaked off and chipped so bad! But the drugstore brand Sally Hansen really is amazing and will stay on your nails forever! And is about $5.00!

WOW! You would think something that cost that much and with a name like Chanel would be worth the buy.
