I know she's a superhero and all, but I'd hate to see Rose try to throw a punch with those nails.... 

Actually, that's Stephanie "Pink" Aldermain, from (among other places) my IST game.  I use that hair a lot; but she and Rose have different faces.  Pink actually has more meat on her bones than Rose does (Rose is scrawny, Pink is just supermodel-skinny).  Okay, most of my characters are skinny.
They're press-on nails (for the IST game); they pop off a lot.  Much like Superman, she has to use her eye-beams to keep them short (being harder than diamond and whatnot).  She likes the way they look, and these won't let her pry open a tank . . . easily.  Pink also isn't a puncher.  Sure, she'll pick up something big, but she's more likely to blast it with eye beams or a kinetic blast (eye beams don't explode, so they get used more).
