Trending in Fashion: Nail Armour Rings

Posted by Alexandra C. | Wednesday May 9, 201255 comments


I first caught wind of the nail armour ring trend a few months back and still to this day, I can't decide how I feel about it. So, in this edition of 'Trending in Fashion', I'm going to need your help.  


The nail rings intrigue and confuse me at the same time. Sometimes, I see one on a very fashion forward lady and I can't help but swoon over how unique and fierce it looks. While other times, I can't help but wonder if they have problems accomplishing their daily tasks. I mean, how is one supposed to wash dishes, wash their hair or (not to be gross but) go to the washroom with one on? 


Perhaps this is a similar case to that of the caviar mani. Sure, it's fun and cool to look at but seriously, real life folks aren't going to be flaunting them anytime soon. 

If these do become available at my nearby mall, I have a feeling that I will be tempted to pick one up! Call me a fashion victim but I love trying out new, out of this world looks and why not? Fashion should be fun. If it isn't, you're not doing it right.  

So, chicks help me solve this fashion mystery. How do you feel about the nail armour ring? Is this a passing fad or a more lasting trend? Would you ever rock one?

I really like the last one with the gem, it gives you the look without being dangerous. If you worry about going to the bathroom with one, get it put on your non dominant hand :)

I like the one on the orange nails and the one on the sage nails.
I'd pass on the rest!
I'd be afraid I'd scratch my face or hook my clothes with the more extravagant ones.

Some of them don't look bad, the more subtle ones, but this is not something I think I would ever wear.

I like all of them. They appear so trendy and stylish. I would love to try this.

Not something I would go out and buy/do, but it is interesting.

Interesting. I really like the first one (gold, orange nails), the last one and the one above it (nude nails, pear ring). While these are very pretty to look at, I don't see myself wearing these. I do a lot of things with my hands so these would be very impractical.

Not my cup of tea. Good for people who are into high fashion a lot of the time though.

I love the silver ones, I'm so into watching Game Of thrones right now this reminds me of something they would wear :p

I think it's a passing fad, but it's just SO cool and badass looking so if I saw one I would totally pick it up! I don't think this is one of those things that will last, but I want one while it's here!! :-)
