Male Nail Biter Full Set Pics

[redsadie]

Hi guys,

I had my male nail biter back in today to have the acrylic he already had on removed and for me to put a new set on to match the two I did yesterday.

The white looks whiter in the photographs and I will have some yellow to put into the custom blend when he returns in two weeks :biggrin:

All of his nails were like the one in the first photo. I didn't use forms or sellotape, I just applied the scrylic over the top of what nail he had as he isn't used to any length and he is a carpenter. He was really pleased with the result! :biggrin:

Let me know what you think?

I think you've done a great job. Making them uneven and fitting the finger is very realistic. The only change, in my opinion, I think you should make in addition to a much less white edge is to straighten the smile. Nice looking mens nails have a straight smile for some reason. The smile makes them look a bit too 'pretty' :biggrin:

Having no white edge could even work better?

Thanks Mum :biggrin:

I had thought about having no white free edge at all but in an earlier post of mine someone said they had tried it and it looked horrid, so I went with the smile.

I see what you are saying too about the smile line, when he comes back I'll see how they are and make a decision to either go with no white free edge or to make a straighter one.

Which, in your opinion, would look better?

Thanks again :biggrin:

Well if you imagine what a nail would look like if it were below the end of the finger tip it wouldn't have a whiter free edge (cos nail still attached to nail bed).

I think I would try without an edge as you could always add a very soft off white tiny line if it doesn't look right.

I recently did a similar thing for a well known person who has no nails due to psoriasis and was making a video with close ups on his hands. I used a custom blend base to disguise the destroyed nail plates and added a minute straight line of a slightly whiter version of the blend just below the level of the finger. I didn't buff to a shine and it looked good and he was very happy (picked it all off after a few days but the it was needed for a different reason! Lol)

Thanks Marion :biggrin:

I think I'll skip the white and see what it looks like, then take it from there.

I don't suppose you would be able to post a picture of the well known persons hands would you so I can see his nails (pretty please if you have one )

Thanks again, you have made me feel better about doing them for him as I have never done a nail biter. I hope he stops biting around the nails too!

Lol. No I don't have a pic. It was for a video and I can't post a link as he wouldn't want the 'false nails' fact known! I do lots of 'secret stuff' and don't let on

 

[redsadie]

Aw, I thought as much

Nevermind, I'll watch out for any male stars in videos and really keep an eye on their nails, lol!

Thanks for your words and encouragement, you never know, I may eventually become the 'go to girl' for male nail biters in my area

I'd love to be a fly on the wall in your business!

Thanks again. Xx

Wow! they look really good, kudos to you for doing such a great good:biggrin:

I would have to agree though that the F/E is a bit too white for a guy, I do think he needs a F/E though cause all nails have a F/E, even guys nails but they tend to be a bit more yellow/stained colour to use girlies:biggrin:

So I reckon if you make them just a tad more yellow/browny and not so white, they will rock!!!

I can see why he would be very happy, it looks like you have yourself a new client and so you should.

Keep us posted to how he does with stopping biting them and any changes you make at future appt's, I would love to see how this progresses.

Thanks Wooshka (cool name )

I will keep updating for sure and I know what you're saying about the FE, I think I'm just going to play it by eye, lol.
