The last time I went to the bar, I absolutely could NOT believe what I saw on the bar tender's hand. She had a metal letter "D" attached to her fingernail by a small chain which passed through a hole in her fingernail! I was told this was a new kind of "accessory" girls are wearing these days!
I asked her if it was any problem. I'm imagining a lady getting her "accessory" caught in the elevator door, closing a drawer, or just accidentally snagging something when moving your hand around. Yikes! It gives me the shivers just thinking about someone having a fingernail ripped off by one of these accessories. What the Korean ladies do "in the name of fashion" is sometimes crazy. I'll have to ask Young Stumbler #1 if she's seen this trend among her friends back home...

That is really strange. They look like they are fake nails, though. So maybe if it got caught on something it wouldn't rip your real fingernail off. Or maybe it would... either way, I can't see that being fun or convenient to have a charm dangling from your nail.
Also, I mentioned this to my Korean teacher, and she immediately thought about typing on the computer. How on earth could you type with that thing dangling from your finger. OTOH, how could you type with long fingernails, but that's another topic.
