The luxury original: CHANEL Le Vernis Nail Colour – 155 Rouge Noir, $34

What matches: The same near-black red crème, and the drugstore shade most often named next to Vamp: essie says Wicked came out in 1993, a year before Chanel's.

What it does worse: Rouge Noir is a touch darker and deeper, by SoNailicious's side-by-side.
