French footwear designer Christian Louboutin, whose designs are marked by the signature red soles, has come up with a bright red nail polish to expand his fashion empire. He says it was a "legitimate" move.
He has created a Nail Colour Rouge Louboutin and joint forces with Batallure to create the stiletto-shaped bottle.
"I thought it would be a nice way to remember where I come from. Also, for pictures of the shoes, I'm always thinking about the colours on the nails - on the hands holding an ankle or a bag. So it makes sense to start there," Louboutin said to The Sunday Times Style magazine, reports contactmusic.com.
The polish is priced at 36 pounds and is available online from July 23 and in Harrrods, Selfridges, Harvey Nichols and Christian Louboutin stores from Aug 14.
