Carbonite Nail Polish: The Hunt Is On!

lazypadawanI'm a nail polish junkie and will even drop $ on pricier brands. I've bought the hot Chanel colors and just last weekend, Nordstrom managed to suck money out my wallet thanks to Buy Two Get One Free offers for both Deborah Lippmann and Butter London nail polishes. I have enough bottles of OPI and Essie to open my own salon.
Then I catch wind of Revlon making a new shade called Carbonite. It's meant to be a knockoff of another must-have Chanel polish Graphite, but Revlon's version has two advantages: it's a heck of a lot cheaper and Chanel's version does not have an obviously Star Wars-inspired name. This is the first Star Wars themed nail polish since Yves Saint Laurent put out Naboo Pink as part of its Love 2000 line years ago. So of course I MUST have it.
Despite many blog posts claiming finds at Walgreens, CVS, etc., I tried local Wal-Marts, Targets, a Walgreens, and a CVS without success. I noticed that many have found it at Meijers, a chain that's mostly in the Midwest. Typical; flyover country gets it first ;).
