Couture Claw Manicures

The Latest Trend Among Celebrities is the Claw Nail

Stars like Fergie, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry and even Jeniffer Aniston have been sporting the latest trend in nail art: the Claw Nail. Seen before in the fashion runaways, this peculiar nail shape has made a cameo in celebrities' videos, presentations, press conferences and even on the red carpet. The Claw Nail appears in every style from femme fatale black-spiked tips to glittery claws, nude tips, or even fuchsia fingers.

Forget about the french manicure or those square tips and welcome to this avant-garde, Claw Nail style. Even though they are not literally claws, the Claw Nail prompts one to be very careful because one swipe from these sharp nails could seriously hurt someone. Of course, this edgy Claw Nail isn’t for everybody. Do you imagine yourself going to work or at school sporting some Cruella Deville-inspired nails?
