Christian Louboutin, he of crimson-soled-shoe fame, announced that he is releasing an eponymous beauty collection. His first foray is a nail polish line. It makes sense, considering it was an assistant's red nail polish that inspired the red soles of his shoes in 1992. The first shade, Rouge, hits stores on August 6, with 30 remaining shades following on August 31.

At $50 a pop, these nail polishes aren't cheap -- but considering the faceted crystal bottle is a work of art in itself, the polishes can double as vanity decor. After all, Louboutins weren't meant to be put in a drawer.

Yes, it's that color red -- the same one that adorns the bottom of every Louboutin shoe. Forget matching your mani to your pedi -- now you can match your mani to your sole.

The remaining 30 shades are separated into three color groups, with each shade named after a specific Louboutin shoe. The Noirs, right, are a group of deep jewel tones with a gunmetal cap.

When it comes to this collection, all that glitters is rose gold -- specifically, the caps that signify The Nudes. These soft hues cover more than just your typical fleshy pinks and taupes. Monsieur Louboutin wanted them to be a reflection of the actual skin tones of women, so you'll find everything from light beige to deep chocolate.

This collection features sunny pastels and vibrant tones in every color of the rainbow -- kind of like if Skittles and Smarties got together and came up with a nail polish line.
