Can I use this hand and cover the wrist with fabric to make a nail page to start advertising my nail skills or is that disingenuous?

    I think there’s a difference between doing nails on a mannequin vs on an actual human that might move, talk to you, change their minds, etc. that being said, you have to start somewhere and I don’t see a problem with you posting nails on the mannequin hand. Just don’t be like ‘thanks for trusting me Carol!”, “Denise’s nails!” and I think you’re good.

    Yes looks real & I don’t feel it’s disingenuous AT ALL. No reason it has to be real people for you to show your portfolio? Just allows people to see what your work looks like. IMO.

    It took me a minute 🤣 I kept staring and flipping between the pics like, “… of course the nails look fake, they’re totally untouched” LOL. Not at all, the hand looks totally real and I’m not in the biz but as a consumer, I imagine it’s basically the same! 👍

    Honestly, if this popped up on a nail page, I’d think it was a real hand without a second thought

    I don’t think you need to trick people into thinking it’s a real hand! You’re just showing off your nail skills

  6. I feel like it’s only disingenuous if you’re pretending that they’re real clients. It’s fine to use this hand to model your work until you’ve got your confidence/skills/roster up.

    Most of us out in the world know how hard it is to get started, so as long as you’re not pretending to be something you’re not I think you’re good.

    The fake hand itself, besides the nail part, is very realistic looking. That being said there’s no need to pretend it’s a real hand

  8. It looks Ai to me. Like, it looks real but “off”. I think you should say it’s a fake model hand in the description, otherwise people might think the whole pic (including your nails) are AI. Don’t try to pass it off as a real hand
