Chanel reformulated their nail polish line earlier this year to a new and improved longer lasting formula. I’ve tried a couple of the new polishes and they do seem to last longer than the old version.  The bottle also got a slight change as the polish names are now on the back.

Rouge Radical is part of Chanel’s Le Rouge Collection Nº1 which is all about celebrating the color red. I thought Radical would look like a clear coat with a hint of color on the nails. Imagine my surprise when after two coats I got the vibrant, pigmented, beauty pictured above. Nothing about what I saw in the bottle prepared me for the gorgeousness that was to come.  I love it. I think it’s just the right combination of red and orange that is perfect for summer.

Is it a love or a meh for you? Have you tried any of the reformulated Chanel polishes?

    oh wow, in the bottle it looks so clear, I thought it was some kind of top coat. I have 2 chanel polishes, I am not 100% convinced. I cant manage to make them last longer than 4 days, but in all honesty, I can make any polish last longer than that so …. ahhhsoneo.com

      So did I ! This one lasted me a full seven days with very little tip wear. Their new formula is amazing. Have a great week 🙂

      You are welcome Sateona. Let me know if you try them. I wore Rouge Radical two weeks in a row and my mani lasted for the majority of the week with very little tip wear both times.
