After years of making women go weak in their knees for their artistic shoe designs, world-famous foot-wear brand, Christian Louboutin is now making waves in the beauty industry with its sparkly nail lacquer called ‘Starlight’. The high-end fashion brand that launched its beauty range earlier this year, recently created a limited edition of one of its nail-polish shades from the ‘Rogue Louboutin Nail’ line, that is adorned with 1500 Strass crystals.
Due to the great amount of detailing that has gone into the making of this luxurious nail color, only a 1000 bottles are up for grabs before the holiday season. The shade picked for this nail color is the same as the signature red used by the designer on his iconic shoe soles. The bottle has an intricate design with Strass crystals applied carefully by hand, which is why its cost is a lot higher than the standard edition. The retail price of this magnificent beauty item has been estimated at a whopping 78,750 PKR. Standard edition of the nail-color line which comes in the same graphic-cylinder shape costs around 5800 PKR as opposed to the pricey embellished version. According to leading cosmetics-selling brand Sephora, the high-priced polish is getting mixed reviews from Sephora shoppers because of such a hefty price tag. However, women are still willing to invest in this rare beauty item.
The packaging of the one-of-a-kind bottle is also just as unique as the bottle with a velvet-lined case and the same flower patterns used in Louboutin’s Pensamai shoe – also an inspiration for this particular piece. Mimicking the design of Louboutin Ballerina Ultima Heel, the bottle is eight inches tall that makes it more of a collector’s item than an average beauty buy.
