GOING COMMANDO
The quest for army green nails.
It's been over a month since Chanel released their Khaki Vert nail polish, an olive-colored lacquer that suddenly became the status manicure of right-this-second.
Its popularity hasn't faded, but its availability has. Khaki Vert is now totally sold out, and going for exorbitant fees on eBay. The same goes for its companions - like Rescue Beauty Lounge's Diddy Grass - and even the NARS website is out of "Mash," its answer to the craze. (Never fear, we found bottles free on Beauty.com).
Below, a roundup of the polishes you can still score to get camoflauged. Play with them, make your own, or hold out until February, when Chanel's Fall 2011 show hits the catwalk, and the lacquer craze will start anew...

I LOVE army green nail polish! But I feel the nail polish has to suite your lifestyle

Love the khaki trend, but "MASH" is actually a vintage Nars color that has been recently re-marketed. In fact, it is entirely possible that Peter Philips of Chanel created the polish as an homage to Nars. Research, darlings, research

Channel Khaki Vert is a great color, BUT make sure you use a base coat because of the strong yellow tones in the color, it stains your nails an ugly yellow after removal. First time that ever happened to me with a Channel color.
