Rasp Ring
"Ladders in your tights, caused by your ripped nails … and on your way to an important date? With the fantastic Rasp Ring these situations will be a thing of the past — because you’ll have your rasp always with you!"
Genius.
From a website:
....................
Nail File Ring
A torn fingernail can do many bad things, contributing to many unwanted accidents — we all know that.
Of course, the one time we don’t have our emery board on us is the one time we damage a nail.
This nail file, cleverly disguised as a ring, has solution written all over it.
The stainless steel ring's business surface has a sapphire rasp coating.
No more panic attacks over a broken nail!
....................
Three sizes.
€59.

I agree with Virginia's comment (which is under the Journalist thing but I think is supposed to be here) -- wear this ring while you're putting on some tights (does anybody say "hose" anymore?) and you'll have a bunch of empty spaces connected by a few strings.
The ring is kind of a piss-poor design, just a little. The little patch that contains the filey part is curved, being part of the body of the ring, and that would make filing off a little nail roughness very difficult. The file part should be projected slightly, with a horizontal filing surface. And what's with the sizes being only (equivqlent to, roughly) 6, 7 and 8? What about the tiny, spaghetti-fingered, and the enormous-mitted sausage-fingered? They also suffer from sudden nail breakage.
They should just let me design these things.
Or, maybe not.
When I was a kid, my brother used to tell me all the time that I was a "pimple on the ass of progress."
I suspected that was true; however, much thought led me to believe that the ass itself was deeply flawed, and my pimpleness merely a symptom of a deeper, underlying festering.
Anyway, I probably shouldn't be allowed where there's any "progress" going on, just the same.

Interesting...I love rings...have to get about 6 resized from when I was a fattie a few years back (I moved the rest down a finger)...and even more interesting I love ripped, tore, shredded tights on a woman.
Of course, I like to be the one doing the shredding, but either way, it is a sexy sexy look. Had an ex that would take a modified fork to the sides of her leggings in a way that would make these guys look like amateurs. And then get upset when I added my own touches. Women don't wear enough of these to make a difference anyways, but they should.
So don't buy this ring unless you just want great nail tips and plan to destroy things the proper way.
