Chanel is the epitome of everything IN when it comes to fashion and beauty. The French mainstay introduced its new Les Khakis de Chanel limited edition nail-polish collection back in October featuring Khaki Vert, Khaki Brun and Khaki Rose (pictured right). No doubt about it, we are all about these three fab military-inspired colors and all Coco, but $90 a bottle? Back in July we put your mixing skills to the test with our DIY: Chanel Nouvelle Vague and now our friends at Nylon have found three more concoctions to save your wallet from some severe damage.
