Hi there!

Can some nail polish experts please help me out here? I am in love with the oxblood color from NARS Chinatown. You can see the color here: http://joannagoddard.blogspot.com.es

Unfortunately, NARS is not available here. We do have OPI and Essie; what do you think is a close dupe. I own Rouge Noir too but I suspect it would be way much darker than Chinatown...Help! 😜

Could you possibly order the NARS polish off eBay? There are a few of that color on there right now. I did a little searching, and some people say that Chanel Rouge Noir is actually quite similar.

Check out this swatch wheel from Cute and Mundane; maybe it'll help you out: http://www.cuteandmundane.com/2012/12/my-nars-red-nail-polish-collection.html

It seems like the closest ones are Revlon Vixen, China Glaze Prey Tell, and Sephora by OPI Rock His World.

Thank you! I read earlier that Chinatown is a pain to apply, that's why I thought I am better off finding a dupe;)..I had a look at the swatches of cute and mundane, seems that Rouge Noir will solve all my problems!! ��

I'm glad that you satisfied your oxblood urge with Rouge Noir. I'm not trying to be a bad influence but I also saw that post on Cup of Joe too and went out and bought Chinatown almost immediately. No regrets - the first coat is streaky (I think because it is a jelly) but I didn't have any problems after that. It is a true brown based oxblood red and I love it!
