Chanel has released quite a few nail lacquers this season in various collections. I have a sneak peek for you today. There is a lot of red this year. I’ve run out of nail wheels for comparisons and my fingers can only take so much swatching each day, so I’ll do comparisons where I can. Many of my polishes are still in moving boxes too, so comparisons will be limited to what I can find easily. (I have a huge amount of respect for full-time nail polish bloggers who put their fingers through so much every week.)
The new shades this season include:
- Collection Plumes Précieuses de Chanel (Holiday) is Phenix (limited-edition)
- Rouge Allure Gloss Collection includes Intention, Expression and Exception
- Chanel’s Delights includes Sweet Star (limited-edition)
- Collection Les Rouges Culte includes cult classics from the 80s in Rouge Flamboyant, Laque Rouge and Rouge No. 19 (all limited-edition)
The Holiday and Rouge Allure Gloss collection shades can be found at all Chanel counters and retailers now such as Nordstrom, Saks and Neiman Marcus. The Collection Les Rouges Culte are a Chanel.com exclusive, Sweet Star has been spotted at various Chanel Boutiques and Chanel.com.
Here’s another shot, there is a lot of glare from the flash and sunlight but it shows the differences in undertone for the various red options. I do think they are fairly similar in effect and color so for me I definitely did not need all of the reds but as a collector of Chanel Le Vernis nail polishes, I could not pass them up.
I hope to have Phenix and Sweet Star posts completed soon (fingers crossed I can finish them today). For now, if you’ve been debating whether or not to splurge I hope this line up of all the new shades helps you gauge how they look side by side.
Wow, lined up like that that's a whole lot of the same red! I have purchased Laque Rouge and I love it. I actually thought I'd go for Rouge no 19 but in real life the other one got me!
Good luck with the rest of your unpacking :).
Gorgeous selection! I can't wait for your review of Sweet Star and Rouge Flamboyant.
Can't wait for Sweet Star – it looks GORGEOUS!!
Can't WAIT for swatching! Thanks for this quickie! Rouge Flamboyant, has got my bells ringing!
Pity Intention wasn't for the European market 🙁
I loved and got Execption, for the rest too many reds…. even if I always love Chanel polishes
Did you know that Intention (633) was not released in Europe? Chanel did not think it compatible with European skin tone so it was released in Asia & US only. Like you I collect Le Vernis and have to have it so I tracked one down in Hong Kong but so annoying of Chanel to break a collection up like that.
Stunning shades… I always tend to go for pinks

Wow, a lot of reds indeed! Hopefully I can resist and just get Phenix, Rouge No.19 and Sweet Star. 😉
They are truly the best. Personally, I love them because they last longer and they dry pretty quickly while having amazing shades. I love Vendetta.
Lots of love, xx
