At £36 a Christian Louboutin nail polish is a luxurious stocking filler, but for those with a very healthy bank balance (and a love of sparkles) they have created a varnish which makes this look like a bargain. For Christmas, Louboutin has covered the Rouge Louboutin polish in 1,500 crystals.
Each crystal is carefully applied to the Rouge Louboutin Starlight bottle and stiletto-esque cap by hand, in the same way a Louboutin heel is given the sparkle treatment. It's one of the most extravagant presents around at an eye-watering £495. You heard us, £495. That's more expensive than some pairs of Louboutin heels.
The polish comes in a black box with two beautiful red leather Strass flowers, which keen Louboutin fans will recognise from the Fall/Winter 2014 collection. These are limited edition with only 1,000 polishes available worldwide, so if you're tempted to drop the big bucks on the bottle of red, head to Louboutin's website.
Red nail polish is a key part of Louboutin's history. The red sole was born in 1992 when the designer borrowed a varnish from an assistant and painted the sole of a shoe red. As they say, the rest was history.
