A comparison between Chanel and Dior Nail Polish
I’m excited to explore the latest nail polishes from Chanel and Dior to compare the two and recommend my favorites.
Both brands boast stunning collections, with Chanel’s Vernis line standing out for its impeccable quality, and Dior’s Diorific holiday limited edition nail polish offering a beautiful, festive touch. Stay tuned for a detailed comparison and my top picks from these iconic brands!
I’ve just finished writing about Gucci and Louis Vuitton bags and La Mer and Le Prairie skin care so it’s fun to see all these colourful nail polishes.
Colour choices
Both Dior and Chanel offer a wide selection of colours to choose from and each season both brands experiment adding interesting new colours when they release their makeup collections.
The Chanel spring-summer 2020 collection reveals an angelic palette filled with colours that represent more than just spring and summer. You will love the cool autumn browns and peachy rose that is succulent and easy on the eyes. The La Vernis collection is a sensual blend of colours, with two of my favourite being the 739 Daydream and 739 Mirage.
Price comparison
Dior and Chanel nail polish is usually priced around $28 with some of the Dior limited edition collection a little bit more expensive. It is possible to find older collection items sold for a higher price when availability becomes limited online.
Design & Formula
Both Chanel and Dior nail polish come in a classic squared bottle. For the lid, Chanel use its classic black lid which looks more fancy and Dior choose a silver lid that is similar across most of the nail polish products.
The Dior Diorific holiday limited edition collection come in a unique and gorgeous round bottle with a gold lid. I think it’s worth buying from this collection just for the beautiful bottle alone.
When looking at the design of the built-in brushes, I personally prefer Dior because they offer a thicker brush than Chanel’s and this makes it much easier to apply the nail polish on perfectly.

Conclusion – Which is the best – Chanel vs Dior Nail Polish
When comparing Dior and Chanel nail polishes you can see that both brands offer some unforgettable colour tones and long lasting formulas that also protect your nails. The two brands price their nail polish in a similar price range so this isn’t a factor that affects my decision in any way.
I like some of the colours from both brands but overall I have to say that Dior are my favourite nail polish brand because of the beautiful design of the bottles in their Diorific collection. These bottles and the colours of the polishes are absolutely sublime and a real collectors piece. If you love nail polishes take a look at my favourite selection of gel nail polish.
