Chanel's latest of-the-moment nail polish, Jade, sold out in stores and people are now paying over $100 for it on ebay. We can't wrap our brains around wanting an It Polish badly enough to pay $100 for it, when we all know the color will be old news as soon as Chanel comes out with a must-have purple or something. As fun as it is to show up at holiday parties with your hands saying, "I read fashion magazines and buy Chanel," we'd be a bit embarrassed if they also said, "I paid over $100 for nail polish that will only be trendy for another 14 minutes." Let us know in the comments if you've found any good Jade alternatives. [Style.com]
