Nails - good but lacking? (added link to my 18 reds+pinks recolors)
I'm busy adding nail polish to most of my grown up females. At least for their formal or party wear, and the option actually helps me developing their personality. Top notch of the society avoid any extremity, poor sims might skip it or choose something a tad boring and the celebs will normally go bold - but not all of them (I've not added Judith Ward's nails yet... she might surprise me although bright red comes to mind).
I have a mini mini complaint. In real life there are hundreds of variety of reds and pinks for nails. In TS4 we have 1 red and 1 pink??? What happened to bright pink, plum red, and anything in between? I'm happy with the pale pinks&greys which are perfect for my nobles. Sims going for red or pink are not so happy though, as there are many outfits you simply can't match with the nail polish. For lipstick we got many dark-dark red, which I love adding to mysterious mature women, who are not mysterious enough to wear black. Besides, dark reds often look great even on less mysterious women. I hope we will get more variety for solid one color options, especially in the colors we often use and need fine tuned, not so much in the blue an green department.
I also wonder if the grey/light pink that is default for most one color nail options, is meant to be the natural color? When I add a bit lengthy nails for formal and party, I really find it weird if my sim should cut her nails when exercising or sleeping (no nails at all), so I added the default for when I want them to have nails but no polish. In a way I would preferred (global) nail size to be set separately from (per outfit) polish color/design. I'm talking CAS, as it seems like "what happens at the spa, stays at the spa".
I assume we can't create CC recolors in TS¤ Studio yet, or are there already CC colors? If I got 3 more reds and 2 more pinks I'd be happy ;)
All in all I love the nails, I used 2 CC nail polish that will now be replaced.
Added: I just created a set of 18 additional nail recolors for the new nail system - they are for the medium nail length, and they require the Spa Day pack.
