The world’s most expensive nail polish worth $250,000 is unveiled


We were not done drooling at the 18 carat gold nail polish by O.P.I and there is yet another brand mocking us! The most expensive nail polish in the world has been unveiled, speckled with 267-carats of black diamonds. This latest entrant grabs the title of 'world's most expensive nail polish' from Gold Rush. The tiny bottle of varnish created by Los Angeles based luxury jeweler Azature has been obscenely priced at $250,000. Only one bottle of the nail polish will be produced and it has been targeted at the ‘one-percenters’.


The designers of the brand have been kind enough to produce a budget 0.5oz version for the rest of the ‘99 percenters’, priced at a reasonable $25 per diamond-shaped bottle. I wouldn’t buy the $250,000 pop nail polish even if I had money enough to throw away!

Everybody’s love a bit of Midas touch to their cars and there is no better way of doing it than giving it a flashy gold-wrap. Gold-wrap may not be everybody’s choice for it may be a bit too pompous and ‘unnatural’, but the fact that one cannot take their eyes off a chrome-wrapped sedan when it passes you, not even the ones who crib about it! We’ve seen a gold-wrapped Lamborghini and gold-wrapped Mercedes in the recent past and boy, were they handsome!

Now, you get to drool over this BMW X5 M wrapped in gold. It was spotted on the streets of Russia, a complete gold-loving country, so it only seems appropriate for it to be zooming around in those parts!
