Chanel has three new coveted nail colors out for spring 2010, including Chanel Particuliere Le Vernis Nail Colour, a color that can be described at "mushroom," "taupe" or "putty." This affordable luxury (oxymoron intended) can be yours for $23 a bottle at uma.chanel.com.
If you want to try this color for less, People StyleWatch offers a great dupe in the February 2010 issue: It's the Complete Salon Manicure Nail Polish in Commander in Chic by Sally Hansen, $7.99 at Ulta.com (or look for it in drugstores). Maybe I'm just smitten by this color because Chanel says it's chic, but I definitely can't wait to get my hands on a creamy putty polish for Spring! If anyone has any suggestions for a similar color, I'm all ears.
Cheers,
Stephanie
Also, Le Blog De Sushi did a great post on this particular nail color back in October:

Their color Fash Pack is very similar to the Chanel color. It's a bit expensive ($14) but cheaper than the Chanel version and without the toxins. It's a mushroom, putty color with just a hint of bronze. i love it.
