I think it’s time for me to delete my old sculpted prim nails, and update with mesh nails!! The Ultra Rigged Mesh Fingernails from Jamman includes a HUD with over 800 different polish textures, 11 nail shapes, the ability to change nail shape & nail texture per finger, and so much more! I like wearing short round nails, but the sharper tips might be good for certain fantasy styles. Rigged mesh nails are wonderful, they’ll fit all hand sizes from 0 to 100, so you’re not limited to just a few sizes.
If you don’t want to wear mesh hands, I think mesh nails are a wonderful way to update your avatar, without the hassle of matching skin tone.
Juicy sim is celebrating Lei Day, just like the fabulous people of Hawaii. We have a free Hawaiian print bikini from SJA Customboards made especially for the event, so come by and pick up the bikini and other goodies!! The party is all weekend long from May 1st – May 4th.
Everybody blogs hair showing the front view, but hardly ever the back or side views. I’m playing around with some new ideas for the blog, and thinking of showcasing a few hairstyles this way. Let me know in the comments if you think this is a good idea! It’s more work, but I’m inspired by hair blogs and RL salon style books to feature hair better, and give my favorite styles the love that they deserve!
Have you visited Hair Fair? Exile launched one of my favorite new hairstyles at Hair Fair, along with new textures and a redesigned HUD. I’ve been wearing this Audrey hairstyle for days, it’s my favorite hair at the moment.
It’s already been a year since Glam Affair collaborated with Not Found to create the Ethereal Essence body skins. I tried wearing it for a while back then, but the shine was a bit too much for me, and I couldn’t get past my initial impressions. I ended up switching to Session Athena body skins, which I still love. That said, I’ve been wanting to go back to Ethereal Essence because the tones match my face skin perfectly without any blending or adjustments. I really wish Session would release something in those tones because they work so well together.
Anyway, onto this new body skin. I say this every time, but did I need another one? No. Did I want one that was actually made to match my face skin perfectly? Yes. I tried on the new Idol body skins from Ethereal Essence and the first thing I noticed was the reduced shine. There’s still some shine around the collarbones and shoulders, but the torso looks so much better now. This body skin also comes with several add on options to adjust or enhance the navel, vagina, cleavage, bone definition, thigh folds, and more. Overall, I’m really happy with both the options and how it looks. I would still add a few of Izzie’s tattoos that I like, such as body veins, foot tendons, and other small details that most people probably will not notice, but I will.
If you’re wearing Glam tones in the 001 to 020 range, definitely check out the new Ethereal Essence body skin because it is a perfect match.
Also don’t miss the Ethereal Beauty Hunt from March 29 to April 12. To celebrate the launch of the Idol body skin line, a few brands are doing free hunts for skins and cosmetics. There is a really nice Glam Affair skin available for free. I’m wearing the lipstick from the Linny gift skin in this post. You can get all 20 tones, you just have to find the gifts hidden around the Glam Affair store.
I love denim, especially classic blue denim because designers keep re-inventing the fabric and incorporating it into sexy new designs. Also, denim is durable!!!!!!!!!!! It’s one of those fabrics looks better as it ages and feels better the more you wear it.
The outfit did not come with a top, despite the vendor ad showing a top! Ooops.. I didn’t bother reading so when I selected the folder and chose “add to outfit”, I ended up topless at the store. 😛
[Sculpted pant legs!! <3]
However, the overall top is a jacket layer so you can pair any top underneath. I chose to pair this with the Digit Darkes Antigua (Spain) top because I love the neckline and the soft flower pattern.
Other stuff I’m wearing: ~flirt~ – Simple Interactions necklace (color changeable gemstones) | MiraiStyle – Alsh Pearl hair *I LOVE THIS HAIR!!!*
I love the new Eala Dress from Schadenfreude. I knew I wanted to make a Western inspired outfit, so I could wear it with the My Western Boots and My Western Hat from Monso. This Western inspired outfit also gave me a chance to play with the HIShorse pose prop from HISpose. This mesh horse is scripted with 6 poses (sitting & standing) and is texture/color changeable.
Aren’t these boots amazing? They’re mesh, and includes a HUD to change texture on all the components.
What I’m Wearing:
Elikatira – Wave (Blonde 05)

Monso – My Western Boots @ Vintage Fair

Aww! I wear sleeve tattoos, so the rigged hands (while I love them) don’t work with a lot of my looks. I was SO excited when I saw your post, because I always have my prim nails on, but they script your hand into that relaxed position, making your hands look weird in a lot of poses/animations. But now I’m a little sad again.
I have never been a fan of the fingernails in Second Life mainly because I find it hard to get them to fit well on my avatar but theses may just change my mind! Thank you so very much for sharing this find!
Wow. That looks pretty nice! Which do you prefer? Hands or just nails?
How do they move when u pose? I remember the old type of nails Would sometimes float in the air.
Hi Terri,
The nails are rigged mesh, so they move with your hand, but I think your hand stays in one “relaxed” position.

Awesome. Thanks.
Is that the Playboy Bunny logo they’re using? If so… hooray for trademark violations!

rigged nails, halleluja, i can cross that want of my list.
However, i would have liked for one of the claw looking shapes to have a more stiletto like shape
Nice Nails. But still hands away! Mesh nails have still the same problem like old prim nails.
You can not make any fist. Always open hands are not natural. LL need first change the mesh system.
