As I grow older, I become more adverse to makeup - to bright lipstick and bright finger nails. I seem to notice a lot of light blue nails this summer. Fingers waving in the air with these little light blue tips getting my attention.
I started to wonder about manicures, and checked online - one of the salons has published its manicure prices as ranging from $35 to $45. Especially if you aren't buying the nail polish. It seems that nail polish is one of those things that soars above the sun when it comes to pricing.
"Red Carpet Manicure Amor 24 Polish gained global attention when it was worn by pop star Rihanna at the 2012 Grammy Awards. The metallic gold polish, which complemented the singer’s custom Armani gown, was the perfect finishing touch to her glamorous look. It is priced at $5,000." I assume U.S
At $5,000, that is the low end of the high cost of premium nail polish.
"The high price tag of $250,000 per bottle makes it the most expensive nail polish in the world, and a manicure using this polish can cost up to $25,000. Azature’s Black Diamond Polish is considered the most expensive manicure in the world.
This luxurious nail polish is made with 267 carats of black diamonds, giving it a unique, shimmering effect. However, it costs a whopping $250,000 per bottle, and a manicure using this polish can cost up to $25,000. The high price is due to the rareness and high cost of black diamonds, known for their beauty and rarity.
The polish has been worn by celebrities such as Kelly Osbourne and has become a symbol of luxury and opulence in beauty and fashion."
Here's the promo picture - the finish reminds me of formica countertops from the 1950s - black with little flecks in them. I don't think that's what we're supposed to be associating these nails with.
Here's one of the gazebos in the RBG Rose Garden. Such a pretty structure that goes with the roses wonderfully. I expect it cost less than the bottle of nail polish.
