Wow, gorgeous collectable bottle! How cool is that!
That price tag is ridiculous.
I just can’t get behind the shape of the brush cap. Call me a square, but it looks dangerous.
$50 for red nail polish – HAHAHA no.
Oh now this is cool 😀 And affordable, yay! I wonder if Europe will get access to this…
Nah..$50 nail enamel..yeah no
A $50 nail polish…? No thank you!
I am embarrassed to admit I will absolutely check this out despite its price tag. I am curious what the colors will look like given the outré bottle.
The fetishwear in the ad is…
I cannot justify spending $50 on a nail polish no matter how cool the bottle is, especially considering it’s just a classic red color. I have too many red polishes to count already.
My first reaction was, “you’ve got to be kidding me.”
But then I realized…dang. Smart marketing. So hopefully the polish will be as beautiful as the bottle, and worthy of its price tag.
[looks at price]
lolno
This could be the most glamorous launch of the year! Wow the bottle!!
As dangerous as this bottle looks, I still want it. I’ll have to look out for the full line though! 30 shades is a nice selection.
I guess it’s a good thing that there is only nail polish because the prices for other things would be outrageous!
“Two coats give the effect of 20 layers of traditional lacquer…”
I don’t even know what that means and I can’t figure out how anyone would wear that shoe.
You need super strong ankles and core to wear those shoes. You’re basically en pointe with them.
/former dancer
I believe those shoes (if they were, indeed, made for sale (and not merely for the advertising)) would be worn during fetish scenes. Probably, the wearer would be bound, so extraordinary strength would not be necessary. Very little (if any) walking would be done.
Beyoncé wore them in the Green Light video. Lol.
same here…what are they even trying to say? the most layers of polish i’ve ever worn is 5 (base + 3 color + top) trying to achieve less opacity with a streaky thin polish and it always ends up looking weird on me. i’m sure they weren’t being literal but then that just seems insulting to write something so nonsensical and then try to charge $50 for it.
Oh, I can imagine the effects of that many layers. Never drying, bubbling, edges peeling up…. Sounds fantastic and I want to spend $50 for it!
Maybe the brand known for shoes should’ve gotten someone who knew a bit about polish to read their adcopy.
Exactly what you said! That 20 coats part actually made me laugh out loud, literally 😉
I’ve seen perfume bottle that size for that prize… Not that off the bar for a prestige product (But I feel perfumes are WAY over priced anyway. lol)
Oh, gosh!
I sent a link to my friend (who needs your website!) cause she covets Louboutin!
Love the bottle design. And for $50, 2 coats should = 20 of mere mortal nail polish.
The price is totally off putting an I daresay $30 of that is simply because of the name, not because the polish is either a unique and unbeatable formula or colour that can’t be found it polishes costing $20 or even $15. Part of me gets a bit annoyed by stuff like this – suckering women into spending 50 bucks for a nail polish – gets me thinking of “the Emperor has no clothes”.
I totally agree with this.
More like $45 of that cost is the name! Even fancy makeup costs pennies to produce. Packaging is the biggest cost but even that isn’t much. Luxury stuff… I just don’t get it…
Just want to say, OMG. My mind is blown.
$50 for nail lacquer?! Sounds crazy. But! that would be the cheapest thing you can own from Christian Louboutin, right? What a STEAL!
When the blood is back to my brain, I realize I’m still on the fence, if I’m given a gift card, I’ll definitely get one.
Eh, at least with Louboutin shoes, people see the red sole and know they’re Louboutins. With this, people will look at red fingernails and think it’s any old red nail polish you can get at the drugstore!
Very reasonable price considering its a nail polish AND a lethal weapon rolled into one…Do you need a licence to own one I wonder…
snarfle
Does anyone know if this is limited edition?
Oh heck no!!! $50 for a small bottle of nail polish!!!??? I love high-end cosmetics but I draw the line when it comes to nail color.
Wow, $50 for a nail polish is insane. I guess I could see Louboutin lovers getting this, but goodness gracious…
This looks really cool and all, but the price is more than I can handle. I would love to see if the claims are true though. And, I mean, some people spend $40+ on tom ford lipstick so what’s a $50 nail polish?
Holy cow, that price is obscene. But I do love the packaging.
Completely OT and unrelated, but are do you post on LJ? Your userpic is very familiar. 🙂
What a tacky bottle. Elvira is mad and wants her nail lacquer back.
I’m definitely mega intrigued…. I have a lot of nail polish but something like this is just amazing packaging.
No, just no. No polish is worth $50.
I WANT THOSE SHOES. They speak to the former ballerina in me. 😀
The bottle of polish is gorgeous, but the price tag is far too much.
the $50 price tag isn’t nearly as silly to me as the line from the PR “two coats give the effect of 20 layers of traditional lacquer…” even as a marketing professional i give epic eye rolls at language like this…if i tried to put 20 layers of traditional lacquer on my nails, the effect would be weirdly thick and unattractive, not exactly an effect i want to achieve, especially not for $50.
/silly marketing copy rant =]
I took it to mean lacquer on furniture, not nail lacquer.
You don’t want 50 coats of lacquer on your furniture, either. They make specifically thick stuff for tabletops, but everything else? 2-3 coats, fine buffing in between.
I hate myself for wanting this.
That’s gonna be such a pain in the behind to store. It sure won’t fit in my alex.
Have they ever tried using twenty layers of nail varnish? What a bizarre comparison.
Just think: When the nail polish is all done you have a sweet display item/conversation piece. It’a pretty vial for your poiso—I mean potions. Yeah. Potions ;D
I know it’s stupid expensive for nail polish (or most things), but it’s way more affordable than most of Louboutin’s shoes. Yet I still want them :sigh:
I like the bottle design (looks suitably wicked). The price is inflated (not like we don’t pay $46 per bottle of Chanel polish here anyway, LOL), but the shoe kind of annoys me. It would have been cooler if it were an actual pointe shoe with a 1/2 patent leather box/vamp and a little bow! None of this pointless spindly heel business (although i get how it’s supposed to tie into the bottle design). You don’t want to be on your heel in a pointe shoe anyway!
#balletrage LOL 😉
I agree, they should have just made a real pointe shoe. That’d attract just as many people, maybe more. And we know he has made them, Dita Von Teese wears them. So why not feature them?
I just look at these and think leaning on your heels would be a welcome relief to the pain of the sinking you’d surely do in these shoes. I cringe just thinking about it. :'(
That bottle looks cool and I’d be interested to swatch one of these polishes, but I beat my hands up so much and am in chemicals so often I can’t justify spending more than $8-10 on a polish.
Those shoes are insane! I actually really like the packaging! However, $50 for a nail polish? No just no. And what’s with the 20 layers of regular polish? Even with the cheapest, lowest quality polish, I don’t have to do more than 3 coats. 20 coats would look like thick, peeling, armor for the nails HAHA
Wait… 20 layers of traditional lacquer!? Either I’m not understanding what is meant by “traditional lacquer” or that doesn’t sound like something I would want at all :/
Nevertheless, the bottle is certainly attractive. Although the price tag makes me want to wait for a swatch or something first…
i was looking at their marketing on the sephora website and wow is it a bit overboard. I consider myself easy to tempt with luxury makeup but this I will not fall for. its a nailpolish stop trying to convince us its molten gold
I love the packaging and the idea but $50? That’s too much… yet it is Christian Loubition so what do you expect? haah
Marc Jacobs also had the marketing spiel about multiple coats of lacquer. I think they both compare it to lacquer on furniture, not on your nails. I see the bottle more as an object d’art than anything else. I also find it interesting that the fetish shoe, from a collaboration with David Lynch, is used to promote the polish. The original images with the shoe are striking, but pretty NSFW.
As a nail polish collector and Louboutin customer, I would have picked this up, but honestly the bottle is ridiculous to me. It doesn’t bring to mind his designs, and it’s insanely tall, which makes storage inconvenient. I will stick with Chanel Fire, the actual polish that he modeled the soles after.
LOL, marketing-speak! How can they say two coats of their stuff equals 20 coats of other nail polish when nobody ever puts on 20 coats? I bet 20 coats looks identical to 4 coats of just about anything! And $50 for a plain red from a shoe company that doesn’t have a track record in makeup…nah!
YES I NEED VARNISH TO MATCH MY SHOES. oh. $50? ok.
This is the one time that I’ll ever be grateful for the sharp Australian cosmetic markup; for a high end polish this feels reasonable, but if the formula is any worse then the Dior or Illamasqua polishes I’ll have to pass.
Women have been buying Serge Lutens nail polish for years. Barney’s sells it. $65.00. Two colors red and “nude”
Wow $50…I don’t know…for that much, I think I’d want a magic nail polish that paints itself (like Harry Potter levitation style LOL) That bottle looks dangerous. You can totally poke your eye out. Haha.
I’m not down for the price, but I love everything else about this concept. I’m so interested to see the brush, too.
Love the black-ombre bottle, but that pointy packaging and 50$ for another red polish?
So freaking gauche. Jezebel best described Louboutin IMHO as “the luxury shoe brand that’s a favorite among reality stars living beyond their means”. I was never a Sex and the City fan and part of it had to do with what felt like a desperate push to make these brands aspirational. Hey CL- you’re not punk. The NY Dolls want their nail polish bottle back. I’m really cranky right now but this just seems so lame.
I find it kitsch.
Those claims sound a bit ridiculous but I get the appeal, especially for those who own the shoes, $50 isn’t that outrageous to those elite! Lol!
yeah, well for $50 a bottle, it better apply itself AND do the dishes for me so it won’t wear off!!! sorry, but that’s insane.
It would probably be the one thing Louboutin I could ever buy 🙂 I do think I’ll pass, though. I don’t really care for the bottle itself, but the handle is cool, and I think a longer handle on the brush is a good thing, makes it rest better in the hand. Of course, these days most handles/bottlecaps are short and wide.
lol smells like bullcrap to me.
Whatever they have in that bottle, it’s nothing that OPI, Zoya, China Glaze, Essie, and every other nail polish creator hasn’t made already.
The bottle is beautiful, but not $50 beautiful.
Pass.
welp guess if u cant afford the shoes u can afford the nail polish lol. yeeeea uuuum $50 for a RED nail polish at that…errr ummm i’ll take that amount to the nail shop n at least get a paraffin wax n massage wit the manicure!! good gawd!
The packaging is to die for! I can’t wait for these to come out!
So, that’s 5 bottles of Zoya, 9 (or so) bottles of OPI or China Glaze and 16 bottles of Sinful Colors (which are surprisingly good for drugstore). The only reason I’d buy it was for decor purposes, sort of like the antique perfume bottles I have on top of my dresser.
OR you could just use the nail polish he originally painted his first red sole with and save some cash. I think it was a Dior shade they still carry to this day.
$50 for a nail paint.. gosshh!!! :O :O
