When in doubt wear red.*

Infamous fashion houses across the globe have spread their luxurious touch to the beauty world. Brands such as Chanel have provided us with iconic make up pieces e.g. the perfect red lipstick. It is only now that Christain Louboutin has ventured to the beauty side of fashion.

On Wednesday the fashion world blew up after Christain Louboutin announced the release of their nail polish collection. The first shade available to be purchased from the Louboutin website is Rouge Louboutin the iconic red that the shoemaker is known for. We are now left waiting and wanting more as more shades are to be released in the collection in due course.

As a lover of all things Louboutin and nail polish I could not resist this latest endeavor and bought mine straight away! Based on his highest heel, The Ballerina Ultima, the bottle stands at over 7 inches. The cap and brush mimics the heel itself and was inspired by calligraphy. The nail colour is incased in a glass bottle decorated in an ombré effect. The shade is Rouge Louboutin the Louboutin trademark red. The nail polish is very opaque and glides onto the nail and only requires two coats maximum. The lid encourages the user to take their time and enjoy the experience. The bottle comes with a patient black box, which is reminiscent of the patient leather used on the shoes, to cover the glass bottle. The bottle is very dominant and demands the eyes to look in its direction. Once in its box the silhouette imitates a trophy.  

When the nail polish first arrived it I was a little intimidated by the size and shape of the lid. I was weary as to how I could paint my nails with a brush that reminded me of a lance. My initial reaction could not have been further from the reality. The lid is very lightweight and does not alter your nail painting precision in any way. I found the nail colour was the perfect red! The shade and finish of the polish is excellent and identical to the iconic red soles.  

The nail polish does come with a high figure price of €45 but it does allow anyone the opportunity to own a small piece of the luxurious brand. Not everyone can afford the infamous red-soled heels but the nail polish is not a bad settlement. I think the polish will make an excellent gift, especially as Christmas approaches why not have the perfect red to match the festive surroundings?

What do you guys think? Will you be buying this nail polish?
