How to make long long long Nails for photoshoot.

[laurajl]

sorry i have soo many topics to cover tonight.

I am currently working on a possible photo shoot to help my cousin to promote her body painting and airbrushing.
soooo i have agreed to do some really long nails to over exagerate the picture to get noticed.
but....
How will i make the nails?
any ideas?
i thought of using a plastic straw and build up about 10cm of acrylic and build it up and file it into shape and paint them all with nail art.
but will a straw be thick enough?
do you have any ideas to help me ?


thank qqqqqqqqqqqqqq xxxxx

Affiniti also do these if sculpting isnt your thing

Shocking Long Tips Clear 10pk at Affiniti

Or, i just found an old thread on someone wanting long tips. Geeg suggested gluing tips together to make the length you want and blending them in. Not sure what would suit you best. Lots of blending may be a bit more time consuming but cheaper.

Hope that helps xxx

We used to apply a tip and then apply another tip to that tip and so on until you reach the length you want... much easier and quicker than all the faffing about with forms etc. For a photo shoot is doesn't have to last .. if all you are is creating an impression then use tips.

Arabella Fantasy forms might be ideal? Available from Sam Biddle's web site

I actually bought these (Arabella's) and got them last week. Although they do what they're supposed to, they don't have enough smaller sizes. The smallest one is too big for my pinky, and also I had trouble making my index nails because the nails are the same size as the ring finger ones, and I only had two :/
