One of this season’s must-have accessories is not in the form of fabric, chain or leather. It’s really just an extension of oneself: Pointed nails. They’re all the rage and celebrities can’t keep their, well, hands off of them. Most recently, they’ve sprouted up on the likes of Hart of Dixie southern belle Jamie King, Cameron Diaz, and Fergie. Ranging in shades of fall’s hottest hues, natch, we’ve caught sight of a bevy of beautiful elongated nail beds, from oxblood to gunmetal and dark gray. Fierce fingers deserve appropriate adornments, ones that will draw eyes to those attention-grabbing talons. Here, we’ve grown a list of what you should wear with this season’s edgiest trend.
For an interesting contrast, set off the long, slender nail with a square ring like this Claudia Lobao silver druzy double square ring or this hammered pewter Julius ring from Karen London.
The beauty of these fashion-forward nails is they really do go with everything. Don this Ariel Gordon classic sterling silver signet ring or the designer’s gold mini stacking ring with rose cut turquoise stone on the weekend for a classically casual look.
Edge, meet edgier. Skulls and points go hand in hand, so search for skull ring set and see the variety to choose from.
On the other hand, go for charming and frame your elegant fingers in Blu Bijoux’s gold open heart ring. The 3D shape makes a bold statement without overwhelming your digits.
Now, sometimes the occasion calls for more. Think cigar band ring or an oversized domed cocktail ring (this gold vintage silver and multicolor crystal one from Tat2 Designs is a must) will accentuate the slenderizing effect of the nail.
Make a glam-chic point in a lengthening piece. We’re gaga over this Janis By Janis Savitt multicolor crystal ring that features lots of flash complete with a pop of rich color.
