Nails!

You need a steady hand and a brush the right thickness, you can always staighten them after you paint, before you bake. I use a toothpick. Best of Luck. XXXXXX June.

I usually paint the nail, then bake. then I apply the glaze and before I bake I take a thin short brush and put the nail tips on using the flesh 08 (not white). Then once it's on I take one of those orange sticks the nail salons use to straighten out the tip color, then bake. Good idea with the toothpick too.

thank you! that's a great idea too, the flesh 08 sounds like a better idea, i mean the baby didn't go to the nail shop for white tips or anything!

You're exactly right on that, they're not French manicures or anything. LOL!!!
And that's what people use to say. The white just looks not realistic considering we're all after such realism. The flesh 08 still gives the effect we want without looking like a manicure.
