Being on trend when it comes to choosing the right nail lacquers has never been easier! What should you go for in terms of tint and style? Number one, shimmering details. Number two, go nude. Moreover, luxury brand Christian Louboutin is taking out all of the guesswork by combining the two into one amazing product. All hail the Christian Louboutin Beaute Louboutin Metalinudes Shades!

Beauty Pick: Christian Louboutin Beaute Louboutin Metalinudes Shades

These glam nail polishes have been selling out everywhere! For awhile it seemed as though the Metalinudes merchandise was not keeping up with demand. For every place we looked online seemed to have the two words no girl wants to see… SOLD OUT.

Nevertheless, it looks like the tide is finally turning. We spotted Metalinudes online on the Nordstrom site among many others. If you want to score some we recommend you scoop them up fast. They retail for $50. Furthermore, Christian Louboutin recently touted Metalinudes as being the go-to nail colors for summer 2017 and shared additional product details. The brand says,

“Summer manicure? New Metalinudes shimmer under the sun in three iridescent shades of nude. From high-gloss patent to mirrored specchio and lustrous lame’ Christian Louboutin’s latest Beaute Louboutin shades embrace the reflective finishes often seen in his footwear collection.

Infused with warmth and light, Christian Louboutin offers a brighter take on metallics with Metalinudes. Three hues enriched with chrome-like pigments; give nails and lips a long-lasting and sensual finish.

You Asked: I don’t care what anyone say surgery or not Blac Chyna is killing the game! Like for real Rob can eat his heart out! I love me some Chy and her clothes, the blinged up one is what I need in my closet. What is it called? Is it a dress that is now in two or like crop top and skirt? Thank you hope you answer!

Ask and Tell: Blac Chyna Rocks Shane Justin Collection Dripping Diamonds Set

The Verdict: We got an answer for you love! We thought Black Chyna looked great in her shimmery little number too. Chyna’s look is actually two pieces. It is a design from the Shane Justin Collection. Nevertheless, this isn’t the first time Blac Chyna has slayed a set by Shane. Earlier in the year Chyna killed it in the label’s “2K” set.

However, in regards to her most recent look, you can find it online by surfing over to DTBVintage.com. Designer Shane Justin calls this luxurious set “Dripping Diamonds” and it is not hard to see why. This ensemble literally makes the wearer look like they are wearing “a girl’s bestfriend” all over their body.

If you want to get your hands on the Dripping Diamonds two piece set we suggest you act fast. It has already been revealed that there is a very limited supply. Plus, once a celebrity rocks a certain style that look always flies off racks like hot cakes. So then, get yours while you can!
