The World's Most Expensive Manicure!

It has been featured on VH1's show ¨The Fabulous Life of...London¨. I remember i saw this and have been searching the net for the past couple of days, hoping someone kept the clip of it so i could put it up here..i found an article with images! (good enough!)

Why is this manicure the most expensive, you ask?

Well, because...

First off, it is done only in one salon, which is in London! At Harrod's Urban Retreat Spa more precisely. And the one who does this is Leighton Denny.
He actually places all sorts of coloured gems onto his client's nails. For example, on the picture below (which, by the way, sorry for the bad quality, it's because i had to take pics with my phone cos the website that has this article, disabled the right-click command!) anyways, back to the nails, this particular design is called ¨the diamond, sapphire and ruby encapsulization" which is nine carats of inlaid gems ..yes, applied to the nails!
It is said that this manicure is so popular, Arab princesses fly to London just to have their nails done!






Now you ask.. how much for this manicure?

Ready...this is insanely expensive! It costs US$32,000 (around £16,761)!!!!!!!!!!!



(I say you can just have the similar design for £20 with my designs! ;p
Either the ¨Studio'54¨ or the ¨Sparkle in the night¨, both have silver glitter or rhinestones applied all over the nail!)
