Christian Louboutin’s latest inspiration comes from ancient Egyptian iconography, the scarab beetle. The iridescent beauty and wonder of this beetle sacred to the Pharaohs, inspired three new shades of nail colour – the Scarabée Limited Edition Collection. “They can look beautiful and reflective under the bright sun but also look like a precious jewel by night” noted the designer. The three metallic shades include a deep blue with purple hues, tangerine-bronze with turquoise and gold flecks, and rose pink with yellow metallic.
