I'm not usually a fan of so-called nail art, but this is just the coolest! A London-based manicurist named Zoe Pocock has created a "Louboutin manicure" based on the iconic look of Christian Louboutin shoes.
Like the famously red-soled designer heels, Pocock's manicure features a red-painted underside on the nail. According to the May issue of WWD Beauty Biz, the artist, who works at Charles Worthington salon, has also invented other fashion-inspired looks. Pocock has created a crocodile-textured manicure inspired by Mulberry bags and whipped up a finish using cocoa powder that looks like suede. How adorably clever.

1Ooo I like. Very cool-looking.
2How fun!
3Love it!
4very cool-looking. how do you pull it off? are they fake nails?
5What an awesome idea
6THAT IS tighhhhttttt!!!
7Interesting. I couldn't do it myself though. Which means it's not going to happen LOL.
8ahhh i love louboutin EVERYTHING
9Hot, but it would be crazy hard to get the red off.
10just did it myself. it looks really chic actually.
11I just read about this in my WWDBeautyBiz mag that came in today. My lil sis is a manicurist---I'm getting her to do this for me this weekend! It's SUCH a cool idea.
Plus, I LOVE Louboutin. I have the money for my first pair, and I'm going to go through every pair Neiman's has to make my decision, LOL!!
12I love it, I am sitting here pondering how I can do that myself lol
13That's really cool, but I don't think I'd be able to grow my nails long enough to actually do it!
14That is adorable! I love it!
15yeah i dont like it, and i dont have long nails:S
16That is the coolest. I'm going to try it as soon as my nails grow out.
17Okay, it's interesting but it also need a lot of care.
18Nice!
19ONE day I'll afford a pair of louboutins
20Oh that is COOL!
21so cool and look so wicked!! i would only do this on fake nails though
22lol cool! My nails are rarely long enough for the red to be seen, though.
23I can't even see the underside of my nails, because they're so short. I guess I'll have to wait for the nail fairy to make them grow, or get fake ones...
24How very resourceful!
25LOVE IT!!
26OMG that is insane!
27this is interesting but my job prevents me from elvira nails
28And when you wash your hands where does the cocoa powder go? Down the drain?
29That would be incredible. I want the suede manicure. Some how I dont think I can get the usual Korean manicurist I go to to understand what I want done.
30Can't belive it!
31I think it's a great idea!
Love the shoes! Inventive idea on the nail art. Not for me personally.
32my nails are never long enough to create that contrast. but interesting!
33hahaha WOW. a little crazy tho, no?
34That's such a good idea because I always hated when I got acryllic nails how you could just see white on the underside! I love Louboutin so I'm all for it.
35So interesting! I like the manicure, i'll try it. I'm also a fan o Louboutin shoes.
36That's really interesting. I think once my nails grow a little I'll definitely try it out! I love Christian Louboutin!
