Here are some situations where mirror nails could be useful:

  • Checking your teeth for spinach after lunch
  • Looking to see if someone is following you down a deserted street
  • Temporarily blinding a friend so you can steal a bite of her dessert
  • Checking around corners in case a basilisk is loose (any "Harry Potter" fans in the house?)
  • Creating a disco-ball effect at your next spontaneous dance party

And, you know, it looks cool, too.
