Christian Louboutin Limited Edition Loubiflash Nail Polish in Dragon Flash
Product Description:
This May, designer Christian Louboutin launches his first-ever neon-like Nail Colour shades, introducing the limited edition Loubiflash Nail Collection. These new shades lend inspiration from the 2012 Crazy Horse cabaret show “Voodoo” that Christian choreographed where invisible hands marked by fluorescent paint leave handprints on the dancers' bodies. Like in this magical act, Loubiflash provides a flash of colour to hands, enabling the wearer to exalt herself with pops of bold colour.
For Christian, neon has long been one of his favorite ways to embellish his fashion collections. These bright shades capture the exuberance of the designer's personality and his collection. As an accent they are cheerful yet elegant—they instantly animate one's attitude and look. They add the perfect hint of playfulness to any outfit. With the introduction of Loubiflash, Christian invites women to reveal their audacious side.
Loubiflash Nail Colours are the next generation of Christian's beloved Pop shades. The formula features an exclusive blend of pigments that provide optimal and vivid colour for striking neon-like shades of hot pink, electric orange, and peacock green.

Christian Louboutin has just launched their new Limited Edition Loubiflash Nail Colors ($30 for 0.2 fl/ 6ml) The three new neon shades are perfect for Spring and Summer. I had the pleasure of attending an event where I got a preview of the upcoming launches. I was also pampered with a manicure at the Tenoverten nail salon where the event was held. We were also asked to choose a nail color to go home with and obviously, I went with the bright peacock green shade called Dragon Flash.
There are three shades:
There are three shades:
- Neoprene- a hot pink
- Crostameteor- an electric orange
- Dragon Flash- peacock green
I was in awe of the new products so it totally slipped my mind to take additional photos of the new nail polishes so, please excuse the grainy photo (this shot was from my Instagram story) I'm not proud of them, but it will have to do for now. These are the three new neon shades it's much smaller than the full-size CL nail polishes, however, the packaging remains same it's just a miniature and affordable version of their regular nail colors. Loubiflash Nail Colour is housed in a silver foil box featuring a neon colour reveal and Christian Louboutin logo matching the shade inside. Each bottle is crowned with the brand's signature calligraphy-style cap in metallic silver, reflecting the brilliant shades in this collection.
The gift bag also included the Loubi Nail Primer & Gloss ($55 for 2x 0.2 fl/6ml) This duo is the same size as the new Loubiflash nail colors. The nail primer creates a protective, smooth, and flawless surface for the nail colors and the gloss seals in your mani while providing chip-free, brilliant shine and UV protection. The customized triangle brush ensures picks up just the right amount of product. I do like the formula of this nail care kit the base coat is great especially if you're going for a pop of color. It helps create an even canvas for your mani and you only need one coat. I also love the gloss as instructed I applied two coats and it dries within 2-3 minutes which is pretty amazing cause I'm a total clutz, and I'm always messing up my mani while drying. The gloss also has a high shine which lasts for a week before it starts to chip and lose the shine. You can also wear this nail kit alone if you're in a rush but still want a polished look while protecting your nails.
This product is gluten-free, and it is free of toluene, formaldehyde, and DBP.
Now for the fun part let's talk about this beauty Dragon Flash! It's a beautiful seafoam green shade with a hint of teal. The formula is quite impressive it has a medium coverage and with two coats you can achieve an opaque finish. I did notice that Dragon Flash lacks a glossy, shiny finish so you'd definitely need to follow with a top coat which is what I normally do anyways so I don't think that's a big issue. However, I must mention I do own two other CL nail colors and both of them has a high gloss finish so, I think the neon formula has something to do with the matte finishing. The brush was very easy to work with, and the shorter version of the intimidating stiletto handle wasn't an issue at all. I wore Dragon Flash for a full week, and it started losing the lustrous shine and very minor chipping around the 5th day. By the 7th day, it chipped quite a bit but most of my other nail polishes last about 5-6 days before chipping so it's on par with other brands in terms of longevity.
Let's take a closer look at the bottle and some swatches.

This photo was taken right after I got my manicure this shade really suits my complexion and I actually received a lot of compliments. As I have mentioned before Dragon Flash has a matte finish but the top coat really did a great job providing a beautiful glossy finish. After I was done with my manicure I literally waited 2 minutes before I started moving around and taking photos of the new lipsticks (sneak peek coming soon). I was surprised that I did not mess up my polish it literally dries within minutes! I have tried many different top coats but so far I'm really impressed with this one.

This photo was taken on the fifth day of wearing Dragon Flash there were minor chipping on the index finger and the shine started fading a bit, but the color still remained vivid.
Final Verdict:
Christian Louboutin Beaute is a work of art, and it's definitely a splurge I tried holding off on the nail colors as long as I could cause it can get addicting. After trying out the other two nail polishes there was no going back. The quality, performance, and packaging is pure luxury. With that being said, the new neon nail colors are fun and playful I also like the price point which is why I'm probably going to purchase Crostameteor It's a really pretty orange shade. Overall, Dragon Flash gets two thumbs up, it performed really well, and the color is a total winner.

Hey guys i have been meaning to do a review on some products but i have been super duper sick lately this fever hit me hard =( .....finally feeling a little better and decided to finish this up ok so enough babbling lets get on with this review =)
-Let me start off by saying I have a 5 year old who loves making a mess ,so being a mommy i have to constantly clean up and touch water .which left me with dry damaged cuticle it was painful and horrible ,so i had to get myself a good cuticle cream to moisturize them and bring back some life and i've found it. the consistency of this product is more of a oil than cream which is not a problem for me cause i use this right before i go to bed it and wake up with amazing moisturized cuticle .it does have a lemon scent to it which does not bother me. you don't need a lot a little goes a long way .since i have been using this product i have noticed a huge difference no more dry cracked bleeding cuticles.
Julep Nail Growth Revitalizing Serum ($38.00 37 fl oz)
-I used to get my nails done in the salon and its been couple of years i stopped doing that. i've been trying to grow out my natural nails. i realized how much damage acrylic nails did for my nail bed .its so hard to grow my nails cause they are always breaking and chipping. they are super thin and fragile it was really frustrating ,so i started using nail growth polishes and came across this one .i don't think this helped growing my nails but it definitely helped strengthening and hydrating my nails and cuticle .it is kind of pricey but its worth it. i apply this liquid serum all over my cuticle area on my bare nails and under my nails then i let it dry before i apply a base coat and nail polish. i have been using this for couple of months now but i don't use this everyday because i forget sometimes and i still got an amazing result overall i love this product combine this with the burt's bees cuticle cream really helped my nails and cuticle a lot .
Hope You Enjoyed
