Good Things Come in Three

Get them while their hot! Chanel's new nail colors released for spring. You may recall, Chanel released Jade (mint green) last season and caused quite a frenzy with some bottles selling on eBay for over $100. Jade was sold out before it hit stores, so make sure to get these before they're gone! If you can't dish out the hefty $23 (85 DHS) per bottle then pay attention to the color trend!
