Opulent Nail Armor

This Nail Jewelry Design Dresses Up Fingers in Stylish Armored Sheaths

— October 2, 2014 — Fashion
Putting on these nail jewelry pieces from JekyllHydeJewelry on Etsy is almost like suiting up in armor that's only for your hands—you'll be totally ready to battle for the most daring style. The Elven Leaf Claw Armor set is definitely an intimidating accessory, although it's unusual enough to stand on its own or support a fantastical Halloween costume.

Each finger gets its own pointy little suit of armor, which is delicately crafted in either bronze, gunmetal, silver or gold. Like real armor, finger armor can be cumbersome, but the chains integrated into the design still gives you some room to bend your fingers. The unusual jewelry design is sold as a set of five (one for each finger) for $40.
