How Do You Make Fake Nails in Photoshop?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 12:02 am

Fake nails are easy to make in Photoshop. You can use the “Pen” tool to draw a nail shape, or the “Brush” tool to paint a nail shape. You can also use the “Eraser” tool to remove any unwanted nail shapes.

To make your fake nails look realistic, you will need to add a few shadows and highlights. You can do this by creating a new layer and painting with a dark color on one side of the nail, and a light color on the other side. You can also use the “Burn” and “Dodge” tools to create shadows and highlights.

If you want to add some sparkle to your fake nails, you can use the “Glow” filter. To do this, go to Filter > Render > Glow. Adjust the settings until you are happy with the results.

When you are finished, save your file as a .psd file so you can come back and edit it later if needed.

PRO TIP: This note is to warn you about the possible dangers of making fake nails in Photoshop. We have found that there is a high risk of infection and other complications when doing this.
