There are thousands of lipstick shades on the market, so why is it our current favorite is always discontinued? Out of all the nail polishes in the world, why is the one we use regularly a limited edition color and already out of stock? These beauty woes are no longer an issue thanks to Giella, a beauty site that will accurately custom-blend any makeup shade you please.

Kathie Lee Gifford mentioned on the Today Show that her favorite Chanel nail lacquer, Khaki Rose was out of stock, and Giella whipped up a batch for her. If you're a fan of the polish you can buy the custom color called Happy Hour here, or you can submit your own nearly used-up cosmetics to get re-made. All you have to do is mail in your tube, container, or bottle to Giella and they'll make you a replicate color and send it back with your original product. The process costs $25 to $28 depending on the product-it's kind of expensive, but we think many women would be willing to shell out for their favorite shade. We only wish Giella could replicate the formulas too!

Of course if you have a color in mind that you've never been able to find, Giella can make that happen too! Now we just need to dig up those little nubs of over-loved lipstick buried deep in our handbags.
