The Claw Could Be This Spring’s Most Outrageous Nail Trend

I’d like to officially introduce to you to what I call “The Claw” – sharp, pointy, out-of-this world looking nails that are so outrageous.  My guess is that you’re either hating these talons or you’re loving them.  I LOVE them!  If you hate these talons, I promise, you’ll soon change your mind. The claw looks hard to handle, dangerous, and illegal for the office, but I must say that these triangular talons are not as scary as they look!  I’m able to apply makeup, wash my face, brush my teeth, open pop cans, and other normal daily tasks.  My cat, Mister Montecore, appreciates being scratched behind his neck with the claw.  Plus, I can use my sharp looking nails as a source of defense, if necessary.

Try out The Claw this spring with a blue french manicure like I did or a simple, full nail mani in a pretty pink.  Leave a comment below and let me know what you think about my outrageous talons.

    @malcriada:disqus yes, you are right! My nail place had NEVER done The Claw before – which surprised me. In fact, they thought I was crazy, as did the other ladies sitting to my left and right. HOWEVER, I bet they will be coming back for The Claw next time around ;) Tweet us a pic of ur stiletto nails @nubry!

    One thing–most nail shops are not familiar/comfortable with doing stiletto nails so do yourself a favor, take a photo example to show them. And just be firm that “yes, i actually WANT them like this!” :)
