Beauty Byte: The Louboutin Manicure

BellaSugar — Wed, 23 May 2007 12:57:51 -0700

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.
