Chanel's Cult Shade Rouge Noir Completed 20 Years and We're Still Obsessed!

We're crushing over Chanel's Holiday Makeup Collection.

Remember way back in 1995, when Chanel launched the Vamp (now known as the Rouge Noir) nail polish and it immediately gained cult status? Ever wondered what inspired that colour? The answer is dried blood—a deep shade of red with a hint of black. (PS: it was the first ever nail polish that led to girls queuing up outside the Chanel stores!)

This gorgeous, blood-red hue has inspired an entire collection! The Chanel Holiday Makeup Collection 2015 is all about this captivating shade—including a garnet-tinged mascara, sparkly top coat, dramatic eyeshadows...the works! It's time to get your Vamp on, ladies!​
