Description
===========
Re-Upload of my Manicured French Nails, but now with shiny "PEARL-SHIMMER" !!!


>>>> i will add soon the possibility of using them on your own babe only !


It is NO BodyReplacer needed !
these nails work on every body, even vanilla;

This is a variant of Dimon99´s Female Small Hands mod;
the fingers are shaped a bit thinner than in Dimons orig. smallerhands-mod, just my personal taste; if u dont like it, dont use the mod.

you get 3 variants of nail-shapes:
-Vers. 2.2 - long slim nails;
-Vers. 2.5 - long spadeshaped nails;
-Vers. 2.8 - shorter spadeshaped nails;

and u get 4 shiny colors to choose from:
-black
-blue
-red
-white (french)

i also added optional Normal-maps (handfemale_1st_n.dds and handfemale_n.dds) to provide dull skin on the hands.

Incompatibility
===============
none known

Known Issues or Bugs
====================
this is extration of Dimon99's original description:
"This file is VERY optional, hands are smaller, they do not fit skeleton properly, so it is even theoretically impossible to expect them to work without distortion ... "

well, if u ask me: Dimon99's work is always outstanding, and i simply love it!!
no reason to complain about anything, and his hands look lovely slim & very feminine!

besides this, i reshaped these fingers a just bit thinner to fit them to the nails, just my personal taste; if u dont like it, dont use them.
