Prim nails!

Ladies, we all know one of the spots the SL avatar fails us is the fingernails.  The baked on nails on the skin or glove layer are ok... but there's no way to lengthen them or get a polished shine without prim nails.  And prim nails either don't fit well, or jack you in the wallet.

Not anymore.

:*:CPD:*: Basic Nail Set - $25L
The :*:CPD:*: Basic Nail Set comes with 12 polish options, 4 French Manicure and 8 regular.  I spent HOURS meticulously fitting each individual nail for hand sizes 10, 20, & 30, but the prims in the set have modify permissions, if you have a different hand size and want to fine-tune your fit even further.

Not only that, the nails come with a built-in animation to force your hands into the "relaxed" position, and eliminate that pesky floating nail problem - without interfering with your AO or other animations!  (It's not perfect - some animations, especially in attached objects, or a REALLY rough teleport could still knock them askew, but it works 99% of the time.)

The set also comes with fingertip covers, on the glove layer, to mask out the nails painted on to your skin.  The finger tip covers come in 5 flesh tones - dark, tan, medium, fair, and goth pale - plus a grayscale tintable version... because aliens and mermaids need pretty nails too.

The whole shebang is only $25L, and it's all copy/mod, except for the scripts and hand position fix animation.  They will make your nails appear as no-mod in inventory, but when you put them on, you can move or resize the prims to your liking.
