Favorite Winter Nail Polish
In 1993, my sister—the effortlessly cool eighth grader I idolized—introduced me to CHANEL’s “Vamp,” a polish that captured the dark allure and velvety luxury of the era. She shaped my eye for style, in the broadest spectrum from Hypercolor to CHANEL, and opened my world to icons like Kerouac and Cobain. A year later, “Vamp” was reborn as “Rouge Noir,” a timeless shade that, much like CHANEL itself, never truly went out of style.
