Tom Ford Nail Lacquer in Blackout

In case a designer handbag is a little outside of your budget, a designer nail polish could prove to be the perfect piece of arm candy instead. This little black number from Tom Ford is the new season noir versatile enough to suit a range of different skin tones and multi-faceted enough to keep her hooked too. An eye-catching onyx-black with small blue pearls, it’s the sophisticated touch of tip to toe shimmer for creating the most striking of manicure makeovers.

We’re sure any girl would count herself lucky to find this underneath their tree.
