Luxe vs. Less Nail PolishChanel Blue Satin or other nail trends out of your budget? Fool everyone with these look-alikes |

Despite treks to stores throughout the city, we couldn't find an inexpensive, exact color copy of Chanel Le Vernis Nail Colour in Blue Satin, $19. OPI Nail Lacquer in Russian Navy, $8.50, was the closest match that was still available on shelves, but it wasn't quite blue-black enough. All hope is not lost, though; Dior Vernis in Poison Blue, $19, is a near perfect match, lacking only Blue Satin's virtually nonexistent shimmer. The catch: It's a limited-edition color, equal in price to the lovely Chanel shade. (Alas, some things never change.)

Beautiful colors, but I balk at paying a small fortune for nail polish. I think it should remain an affordable splurge for all!

sometimes the difference in price reflects in the difference in quality

Very nice colors but there's definitely cheaper ones that challenge the expensive brands!

None of the colors were very good dupes of each other, but I definitely saw some new nail polishes I want now!
