Weird beauty math: Chanel nail polish

Size of a bottle of Chanel nail polish: 0.4 fl oz
(OPI, by comparision, is a larger 0.5 fl oz bottle)

1 U.S. gallon = 128 fluid ounces

Which would mean you could get 320 bottles of Chanel nail polish out of a gallon of product.

At approximately $24 (USD) per nail polish (let's assume we get a good deal),
that's the price equivalent of a

$7,680 can of paint.
