Would You Buy Christian Louboutin’s Crystal Encrusted 120,000 Naira “Starlight” Nail Polish?
Well if it’s a luxury nail polish you want, now you’ve got it.
Christian Louboutin released their very first nail lacquer a few months ago (see here) and now they are out with a limited edition – The Christian Louboutin Starlight Nail Polish.
Now it isn’t the fact that this shade of red is the original Rouge Louboutin lacquer shade or the fact that the bottle’s cap is long & spiked; but the hefty price tag attached to the polish. At Sephora.com, this lacquer retails for $675 (Approximately N120,000).
Why? The spike-topped bottle is laced with 1,500 hand-applied strass crystals. The jewel box is lined in velvet and embellished with the same flower petals from the $1,395 Pensamoi stiletto. There are only a limited number of these exclusive bottles in production, so you’ll have to visit your closest Louboutin boutique to get your hands on one.
The pricey bottle isn’t limiting shoppers from buying. Sephora has reported that the bottles are flying off the shelves but not without mixed reviews. Some shoppers say “I can’t even see my husband buying me something so absurd“; but others are saying “Slightly pricey but worth the money“.
Only 1,000 bottles of Starlight have been produced worldwide.
So BN readers, would you splurge on this luxury nail polish?
