Finger things in INSPIRE PV?

[ohsixthirty]

Does anyone know, what are those pointy things on Ayumi's fingers called in the INSPIRE PV. I need the name for them and also if anyone knows where they can be purchased that would be very helpful as well. Thanks!!!

I don't think there's any name much less a retailer for these. You could simply make these yourself (cheaply) by wrapping foil around your finger tips and molding it to shape and hooking it at the tips or I could think of several more expensive ways to make them if you wanted them to look ever so pretty and shiny.

I dont no if you can buy those...hehhee, but then look around @ Ebay or something~ you gonna dress up like Inspire Ayu for halloween? :O

I was thinking of dressing as Ayu from the Real me PV, but I would need more time for that. And my mom keeps saying, "Yeah, but you should be someone who people will know." Anyway, I'm sure they'd be easy to make with some household items (boy, do I sound like a designer from HGTV...). That, or a very expensive manicure. Just kidding.

off subject, but this halloween i'm going to be one of dr. seuss's "thing"s.

I've seen nails exactly like the sold in this store called "Ricky's"

Omfg. i needed those pointy things for halloween too.
anyone know any other ways to make them?
(That isn't dangerous >.>; )

The most over the top way I can think of would be a foam molding material with wiring covered in monofilm but it's been ages since I've used monofilm and I forget exactly what surfaces it's appropriate for. Honestly I'd say just go for the tin foil idea, get a bunch to mould around your finger to make the basic shape and wrap with a skin of perhaps craft foil (thicker and shinier), twisting it towards the end and pulling it down in the hook. Cheapest, easiest, and quickest way I can think of making those and heck, it's halloween, you don't need to go nuts on details looking utterly perfect.

Or you could go RAINBOW on us and glue/tape tissue to your nails! DD

haha, thanks guys. i ended up buying them on ebay. i looked up "thai finger" just hoping to get lucky and there they were! and i'm not dressing up as INSPIRE ayu...but as one of those male dancers in the PV.

[ohsixthirty]

^google.com pulls up lots of recipes if you search for "thai finger" hahaha!

but even though i bought some, i still have no clue if they actually have a name.

I found them for sale in street vendors in China. The nail things.

[hopeorpain]

Empresses of China wore those back in the dynasty era. I suppose that they originate from China...

[ohsixthirty]

cool, thanks for the info. never knew they had a connection to china.
