The shoe designer's Christian Louboutin Beauté Nail Colour lacquers, housed in their show-stopping flacons, arrived on the beauty scene "to evoke shiny lacquer imprisoned in a piece of faceted crystal," he told us. Nail addicts, and fans of the fashion brand, bought into his world of Pop, Nude and Noir nail polishes, after all they were "a natural extension for someone like me, who likes to empower women and to be a part of creating beauty seems like the right next step" explained the Frenchman.

So what next in the beauty tale of the creative cobbler? "Loubi Under," that's what, a red polish with an easy-to-use felt-tip nib, which describes itself as a "sole" polish. Designed to paint your under nail, this is Louboutin exercising his sense of humour, applying his red sole signature stamp but this time to your nails. "Beauty is a boat that is meant to sail alone, but one that sails alongside the shoes," explains Louboutin.

Not sure it will catch on? Well, it's already been spotted on the 'sole' of Adele's fingernails at the 2012 Grammy's, and since Loubi Under stepped into stores on October 15, the polish for your sole has been a sell-out. If you can't afford Louboutin's iconic red soled shoe, then perhaps £33 is a small price to pay to tap into the trend.
