Yay or Nay? Fingernail Cones

I just spotted these feather-tipped fingernail cones on Himma Wong's S/S 2012 runway at Hong Kong Fashion Week. A likely nod toward fingernail protectors worn the elite Manchu court ladies of the late Qing dynasty. I'm definitely intrigued by their ethereal design (aside from the fact that they lack an ounce of practicality.) Do we have any takers?

They absolutely have a use...I'd be hard-pressed to bite my nails through those suckers!
