With a standing weekly appointment at my local nail salon (and an entire bathroom shelf stocked with nail polishes, pens and stickers), it's pretty clear that I'm obsessed with nail art . And while I don't allow seasons or trends to stop me from sporting a neon manicure year-round, I couldn't resist testing out celebrities' latest obsession: stiletto nails .
Popularized by stars like Lady Gaga, Rihanna and Fergie , these dagger-like digits make accomplishing even the simplest tasks an Olympic feat. But these stars prove that sending a text message, putting in contact lenses or strapping on high heels aren't things to worry about when you have multiple assistants .
Challenged by Stylelist fashion editor Christina Anderson to give these talons a try, I entrusted B. EZ for Bombe d'Ongles with designing a metallic gold-and-studded set (inspired by Prada's Minimal Baroque sunglasses ) before hitting the streets of New York City to find out what people thought about my look.
Would you wear stiletto nails ?
