OH SNAP THREAD EXPLODED AGAIN oh well it's not like I mind
OKAY VALERIA. There are two ways to make nail teeth. The first way is going to make them look better, last longer, feel safer and more secure, but take (a little) longer and cost more. The second one is going to be cheaper and take less time, but it's going to be... Well, the opposite of the other kind, as in more likely to hurt you and less likely to feel as secure. The first one (and the one that I used) involves buying the acrylic nail mix that they use in salons, where you add a certain chemical to a certain powder and mix it all up and then it hardens and VOILA NAILS. Basically you mix some of that up (in SMALL BATCHES since it hardens kinda fast), take a small blob of that, then put it on top of the kind of acrylic nail that you can get where you just glue it on top of your nail and it looks like you've got a manicure. But first you have to cut the plastic nail into a tooth shape. So you put a blob of the acrylic on the tooth-shaped nail, then stick it on the tooth in question and form the acrylic around it. So pretty much, you have a little cast of your tooth in the acrylic. Then let that dry in your mouth so it makes sure to hold the shape, then after a few minutes you can carefully pull it off (it should come off fairly easily, but if not just wiggle it around until it does; just keep your teeth moist before you apply it and it should help). AND YAY YOU'RE DONE. With one tooth. Then just lather, rinse, repeat until you have as many teeth as you want. With this way they stay in your mouth way better since they are actually little molds to the exact shape of your teeth, and since they're gonna be hard when you're done they're not going to warp or change shape or anything. Just use some denture adhesive to make them really stick. Seriously, when I had these in Dracula we could eat, drink, talk, basically do anything in them because they stayed so well. And they actually look fairly real, since they have the same kind of opacity that real teeth do. The second option is really similar, just without the acrylic: cut the plastic nail into the shape of a tooth, then stick it on with some denture adhesive. It's less expensive and it'll take less time and have less chance of oops, but they won't stay as well and they won't feel as sturdy. Plus, if you're doing vampire fangs they're going to have the pointy ends, which will poke you a lot, and if it's a thicker point (from the acrylic backing), then it's going to injure you less than just a thin, poky nail.
THAT WAS MY BRIEF VERSION. IF YOU NEED VISUALS TO HELP YOU I CAN DRAW SOME UP.
