Trend alert: The nail ring
updated the 17 August 2015 à 11:26Forget toe rings. The nail ring promises to be the must-have beauty accessory of the season.
A Chanel nail ring…
No you’re not dreaming. You can now accessorize your nails with a real gem and not just with nail art, stickers or glitter.
While toe rings have long fallen out of trend, nail rings are the latest must-have for fashionistas as they were seen on the Chanel show last July and thus established as a hot trend for fall/winter. Karl Lagerfeld’s versions are round like conventional rings, and made of rhinestones and stacked on multiple fingers at the same time.
And that’s not all. If you dare you can even indulge in over-the-top nail rings like those seen on Beyoncé and Lady Gaga and don the “false nails” rings that cover the entire surface.
The advantage is that you don’t have to spend the evening getting your nails done and obsess over the slightest defect, bubble or notch on your manicure. A small ring, and voilà! However, it is still advised to have your nails painted with the season’s hottest colours to nail the look.
If you like the trend but don’t want to splash the big bucks on the ‘real’ thing, some online shops and highstreet brands are already stocking their own versions of the nail ring like this pretty one from ASOS.
