With a quarter of a million dollars, you could buy a college education...a home...exciting travel...or you could buy one bottle of nail polish. Jewelry couturier Azature -- the self-described "Black Diamond King" -- is now producing a one-of-a-kind bottle of diamond-infused nail polish, Fashionista reports. Containing 267 carats of black diamonds, this luxe lacquer will set buyers back a quarter of a million dollars.


The jewelry company Azature, whose jems have decorated celebrities like Rihanna and Beyonce, call the black diamond the "ultimate fine jewel." So, they decided to showcase the black diamond on nails, so they developed a Black Diamond Nail Polish with the same attention and quality as the jewelry. It's the most expensive nail polish in the world, of which they seem pretty proud. (The most expensive used to be the $130,000 bottle of Gold Rush couture nail polish that British jeweler Models Own released last year.) The nail polish currently has a 576-person waiting list. Really?

If you want the glitter without the gems, the 99% can get a department store version for $25. (Which is still pretty expensive if you ask me!) They say that the $25 version has a real black diamond in each bottle. It's available at Fred Segal this week.
