Of all of the Makeup Wars Challenges, this one might be my favorite so far. This week the Makeup Wars Challenge is to pick out our Favorite Fall Nail Polish. Given that this fall’s nail collections are loaded with purples, I didn’t have to look hard for options. Read on…
The nail color that I chose as my favorite is Dior Orchid 981, which is part of the Les Violets Hypnotiques Collection. This aubergine creme shade couldn’t be more in season, with purples having (finally!) such a huge moment this fall. I love the Dior Vernis formula, although the brush takes a little getting used to. I found that with Orchid, although two coats certainly gave great color, I loved the color saturation even more with three.
Runner up ( I had to have one!) for me is CHANEL Vertigo. There will never be a fall that I don’t lust for one of the new CHANEL nail polish shades. Vertigo is such a hard shade to describe; kind of muddled purple-brown-black shade. How about we settle for “dark”, with a bit of red shimmer in the sunlight. I love it.

So pretty. I love Dior polishes!
Chanel Vertigo is AMAZING. One of my faves too! Dior will always be a winner because they have an awesome formula and, IMO, the BEST brush <3 Great choices!
