Long Nail Pictures

From LoveToKnow Skincare

Long nails can be sexy or demure, sweet or scary, depending on the style; looking at long nail pictures is one way to pick the design that's right for you. If you are looking for a sweet, innocent style, go for a soft pastel, like pink or peach. Feeling like a vixen? Opt for fire-engine red. French nails are simple and sophisticated, while bejeweled brights are fun and flirty.

Nails this sharp are great for Halloween, but might be too severe for regular wear.

Shape can also greatly alter the look and meaning of your long nails. A sharp, severe point can be menacing and talon-like on extremely long nails, while a rounded tip gives a romantic look.

Ali, it's surprisingly easy! You can use a real dollar, but you'll have to cut it of course. Use your best judgment to cut the right size, or use a ruler to measure it against your nail. Coat your nail with a layer of clear polish. Add a very slight hint of clear polish to the side of the bill that will lay flat on your nail. Be careful not to add too much - you don't want to drench your dollar.

While your nail is still wet, position the dollar on the tip, making sure to place it in perfect alignment. This is tricky and may take some practice! Follow up with at least two coats of your favorite top coat. You may find you need more than usual to create an ultra-shiny look, and of course to seal the dollar down. Good luck!
