Le Vernis #121 Première Dame is a bright pink-coral longwear nail colour from Chanel. The current formula is more heavily pigmented than earlier Le Vernis shades and includes camellia ceramides, which Chanel says support a glossy, even finish. The wide, flat brush is the practical highlight: it covers the nail in few strokes and suits people who paint their own nails. It is a premium polish, so it competes on colour and finish rather than on wear time; reviewers generally find it chips sooner than dedicated longwear drugstore lines.

Reviewers like the colour payoff, the glossy finish and the wide brush that makes at-home application easy. The main complaint is wear time: many say it chips or peels sooner than cheaper longwear polishes, especially without a base and top coat.
Chanel Le Vernis Longwear Nail Colour in #121 Première Dame is a long-wear nail polish in a bright pink coral shade. The formula has a higher concentration of pigment for a vivid color. It contains Camellia ecoceramide, an ingredient of natural origin developed for Chanel, and gives an ultra-shiny, even lacquer finish.
The bottle has a wide, flat brush designed for precise application. It leaves a smooth, long-lasting finish.
Chanel suggests a four-step routine. Start with L'Huile Camélia to moisturize and push back the cuticles, then apply La Base Camélia to protect and smooth the nail. Next, apply two coats of Le Vernis for depth and shine. Finish with Le Gel Coat.
