Nail Polish Deluxe

Posted on 15. Jan, 2011 by in fashion finds, product feature

Only for the truly vain about their nails and have the money to spend: the £83,000 ($130,ooo) Gold Rush Couture nail polish by Models Own. Why so expensive? The secret is not actually on the polish itself (which when painted on will make your nails look like golden leaves which will glisten, glimmer and actually sparkle like tiny diamonds yet is absolutely smooth to the touch, according to sources) but on the container. The lid is hand-crafted yellow gold that has 1,118 inlaid diamonds.

For something that will chip off in about two to three days even if you’re really careful, this is a really unwise purchase. Unless of course you happen to have £83,000 lying around and find nothing else to spend it on. Otherwise, buy the non-couture version for a mere $7 (available online as of December, as far as I know) and get the exact same contents. What does one do with a diamond-encrusted container after the polish inside runs out? Make it into a necklace, perhaps? Boggles the mind.
