Christian Louboutin presents Loubi Under

The latest product in the Louboutin beauty line lets you create a manicure that's red underneath, just like the soles of the famous French shoemaker's pumps.

The latest product in the Louboutin beauty line lets you create a manicure that's red underneath, just like the soles of the famous French shoemaker's pumps.

A few months ago, the announcement of a new Christian Louboutin beauty collection set the fashion world abuzz, despite the mystery surrounding what type of products it would entail. Now that fans have learned it's a Louboutin manicure that's in store, the enthusiasm shows no signs of dropping off any time soon.

The concept behind Loubi Under Red is simple. The applicator for this new red nail polish, an extremely thin felt-tip nib, is more like an eyeliner applicator than a typical polish brush, allowing you to paint the underside of (long) nails for a "red-soled" manicure.

More creative nail artists can even use the fine-point brush to paint tiny designs over their top coat, letting their imagination run wild.

Priced at $45, Loubi Under Red is available online and in a selection of stores.
