Beauty Byte: The Louboutin Manicure

May 23, 2007

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.

That's really interesting. I think once my nails grow a little I'll definitely try it out! I love Christian Louboutin!

That'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. :)

That 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.

And when you wash your hands where does the cocoa powder go? Down the drain?

I 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...
