Chanel has done it again in breaking out a cult-worthy, must-have nail polish shade. This season, turn your fancy to Kaleidoscope.

When I spotted Chanel Nail Colour in Kaleidoscope in October’s issue of Allure, I had a “can’t breathe” moment. Kaleidoscope is a stunning metallic green, full of silvery shimmer. This chameleon color flexes between gold and silver in different lighting, and takes edgy to a new level of sophistication. Dark colors will always have a place on my nails – I was a non-goth, black polish wearing, fashion forward high schooler – but this sparkler stands out after years of Vamp, Lincoln Park after Dark, Black Satin, and Yoga-ta Get This Blue.

From the first glance, images of glittery holiday parties come to mind. Kaleidoscope will rock any soiree – from glam parties to punk rock concerts to the after hours lounge. And, of course, pump up your everyday casual style. Apparently, I’m not the only one this polish made a huge impression on. The limited edition shade has already been known to be hard to find, and marked up on eBay. If you find yourself out of luck, look for a comparable alternative in Essie’s Steel-ing the Scene. And cross fingers that OPI comes out with a similar shade or that Chanel makes Kaleidoscope a permanent fixture in their collection.

Do you “die” (a little bit of Rachel Zoe for ya) for Kaleidoscope? What’s your personal pick for the latest IT nail color?
