This would be incredibly difficult. Are you a world class sculptor? Even if you are, I doubt they would look like this in person, they’d look like chicken wire.
Yeah, I feel like you’d want the perfect climate for these to work. Like, thick tree coverage, low wind, tame storms. Maybe somewhere that gets fog a lot.
There’s a house on my way to work that does them. The creepiest thing is that when driving past it at night, you can’t see them unless they have a spotlight on them. Even then, at 40mph they’re almost invisible.
Swap the pet panther for a small passal of oppossums.
I want to hear the rustle of those tails across the flagstone floors, the echoing munch of happiness as the pantry is raided for its fruits, and the silent screams directed at our asses to bring down the hallowed halls.
Where is it cracking and do you use a base and top coat? I have found that application has more to do with longevity than brand. Also, do you push the cuticles back and put nail polish remover on your nail before you polish to remove any oil?
I would try these things and see if things improve. Make sure to top coat around the tip of the nail and quickly remove any overbrushing on the skin so it doesn’t peel from there.
THIS. Painting nails is like painting anything else - prep is 90% of the work. Note: I do not use a nail buffer at all until the end. I find that the surface becomes too smooth for polish to stick to, so I use it only for a finishing touch.
Here’s my process:
Clean hands and nails well with a bar soap that doesn’t have moisturiser. Cheap brands are best and make things literally squeak.
Prep the nail bed with a nailpolish remover that doesn’t have moisturiser. Bonus points if non scented, as perfumes contain oils.
Dry them off well with a paper towel.
Paint one semi heavy layer of base coat.
Paint two medium layers of polish.
Paint one thin layer of top coat, wait for it to dry fully and clean up any mistakes.
Use the nail buffer to smooth out any imperfections.
Paint a normal layer of high gloss clear coat.
