Nail Rings

A New Way to Decorate Your Nails Without Any Polish

— May 2, 2012 — Fashion
Nail rings are an exciting alternative to jazzing up your nails with nail polish. While painting nails crazy patterns such as watermelon or polka dot are trending on a variety of popular sites and social networks (I'm looking at you Pinterest), more adventurous fashionistas have been asking, "Why just stick to polish?"

Available in various sizes, these triangular nail rings will instantly give you some edge. Choose from gunmetal or black crystal (both equally as intimidating). The rings have a very sinister almost Dracula-like quality to them -- in the most attractive way possible. Best of all, they're affordable.

Combining the best of both worlds -- rings and nail decorum -- these nail rings are a hole in one for cutting-edge ladies who want to turn the fashion world on its head. Who wouldn't?
Trend Themes
1. Nail Jewelry - The combination of nail art and jewelry presents an opportunity for companies to create unique and customizable accessories for fashion-forward consumers.
2. Non-polish Nail Decoration - The trend of non-polish nail decoration presents an opportunity for businesses to develop innovative and non-toxic nail products that cater to health-conscious consumers.
3. Alternative Nail Accessories - The increasing demand for alternative nail accessories presents an opportunity for businesses to develop and market unique and creative products that cater to a wide range of consumer preferences.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion Accessories - The emergence of nail rings presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for fashion accessory companies looking to tap into the growing market for unconventional and trendy accessories.
2. Beauty and Personal Care - The trend of non-polish nail decoration presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for companies in the beauty and personal care industry to develop environmentally conscious and non-toxic nail products that cater to health-conscious consumers.
3. Jewelry - The combination of nail art and jewelry presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for jewelry companies to create intricate and unique pieces that serve both as nail decorations and everyday jewelry.
