You can buy a lot for a quarter of a million dollars: a house, a sports car, and now nail polish. Black Diamond Nail Polish, created by Azature, has attained bragging rights as the most expensive nail lacquer in history because the couture jeweler has produced a single bottle that contains 267 carats of real black diamonds. The $250,000 price tag might be steep even for some of the glamorous clients who’ve worn Azature’s jewelry, including Beyoncé, Miley Cyrus, and Scarlett Johansson. But that doesn’t mean we’re all shut out: Azature is also releasing a $25 department-store version. It’s said there will be a single black diamond in each bottle.
