Louboutin AND nail polish? Certainly the mention of these two should be enough to make me weep with excitement, right?
Sadly, not quite. I mean, I don’t think I need to proclaim my love all all things re-soled (my soul is red, by the way, see what I did there?) and well, nail polish is, NAIL POLISH. Double love.
It is also lovely that the first item on the CL beauty line, announced a couple of years ago is a Loubi sole red varnish – given the colour on the soles was indeed inspired by nail polish – taken spontaneously from his assistant and painted on.
However, the price is what kills me: £36 for a (beautifully crafted with a spearing 20cm “heel” lid inspired on the ballerina shoes created in collab with David Lynch *drool*) bottle. Yes, my friends, £36.
I might bite my tongue, but although I have plenty of frivolous moments (way more than I can afford), I don’t think I can bring myself to pay £36 on a bottle of nail varnish, even if it is Loubi red. Or can I?
The bottle is beautiful and I could be compelled to get it just for the collect-ability of it but I also think about that HUGE lid, hopefully we can detach and be left with a smaller, more application friendly one!
September will see the launch of 30 shades – nudes, noirs, pops, base and top coats. But we all know Louboutin Rouge is what we want… How pretty is that?
So, do you think it is worth it?
Hard to say nay when one has not seen it on a nail yet… 😉

Can understand – thing is, I don’t really need to see it on a nail – it is a plain red, just like the soles, the colour I have a few quite similar (if not the same!) at home – which I love, don’t get me wrong… but that is also part of the problem. Sure it is a lovely red, chip resistant, ultra glossy and what not, but for £36…
Having said all that, I won’t say a total nay, but it is not quite a yay yet…

Thanks for your visit and comment!

I kinda love it, but I can’t let myself get a polish until I have my shoes.

Hahahaha – I know how you feel – I kinda love it too, but it’s a bit too much money. And you are right – shoes come first. Plus, £36 would sit rather well in the shoe fund! 😀

I soooo badly want to say it’s ridiculous for the price but considering it’s sooooo beautiful I’m wavering.
I actually like how long the lid is; would look great on a dressing table!
Though overall I know I won’t be purchasing this! You?

I know, same dilemma here… beautiful bottle – the lid is 20cm, apparently, the same height as the ballerina heels! Nice touch! Think it would look lovely on a dressing table!
I am leaning towards no, purely on the price… but still not a definite no, hehe
Thanks for popping by!
