Plastic nails for bjd tutorial

i came across a doa thread quite a while ago where people were discussing what is the best way to make long nails for dolls. someone suggested straws. so i did this today for fun, and made a tutorial if anyone's interested to try it out. it isn't that difficult to figure out how to do, but i figured some photos won't hurt. the only part that i had to think about how to do was which direction to cut the straw to get that natural curve nails have.

the hand used here is a female lishe hand. gabby is a cp dreaming lishe boy, and he normally wears male cp hands, but i did the nails on the girl hands, so i was lazy and just swapped the female hands onto him for some photos.
