　　女生们大都喜欢指甲油，那或鲜艳或神秘的颜色，给心情增加了不少斑斓。不过，这小小的指甲油，也有平价和天价之分。

　　珠宝品牌Azature推出号称“全世界最昂贵的指甲油”，成分含有267克拉的黑钻石，一瓶售价高达25万美元。

　　流行品牌Models Own两年前推出一款名称为“淘金潮”(Gold Rush)的金黄色指甲油，要价13万美元，且宣称是“全世界最昂贵的指甲油”，受到媒体瞩目。

　　这款指甲油内含约14克拉的钻石粉末，手工打造的瓶子含有将近4盎司黄金，并镶着1118颗碎钻。

　　如今珠宝品牌Azature更上一层楼，推出售价25万美元的黑钻石指甲油，指甲油内含有276克拉的黑钻石，堪称“全世界最昂贵的指甲油”。

　　The most expensive nail polish in the world has been unveiled.

　　Containing 267-carats of black diamonds, the tiny bottle of varnish, by Los Angeles-based luxury jeweler Azature, has been priced at $250,000 (157万元).

　　Models Own, a British company, released a Gold Rush Couture nail polish last year. The product, which contained 1,118 diamonds, was priced at $132, 800 (84万元), which set a new record for the most expensive nail polish in the world.

　　It also featured a hand-crafted lid made from yellow gold.

　　Just last month, beauty fans showed their passion for nail polish by taking to the auction site eBay in order to purchase the almost impossible-to-get Black Spotted polish by OPI.

　　Because it only sells in France, French owners of the product are able to price the varnish for up to $70 (440 元) per bottle.
