Nails added by these mod are implemented through a new racemenu slider, these way they don't occupy a body slot. So they can freely be used along any outfit item
Nails come in 5 base shapes (Short, Long Squared, Long Almond, Longer Squared, Longer Almond & Longer Stiletto), a few patterns and many colours, making for a total of 297 options to chose from : )

The colour of the glow effect can be changed in nifscope for all the glowing nails:
1. Open the mesh in nifscope
2. Expand the corresponding mesh block and select the shader properties block
3. Go to the emissive color line and click on the color wheel symbol
4. Pick the color of your choice
5. Click "ok" and save the file
By default the new slider only appears on vanilla races
To enable the nails slider on your non-beast custom race, you need to open the races.ini file and add the lines:
YourCustomRaceEditorID = sliders\human.ini
YourCustomRaceEditorIDVampire = sliders\human.ini
The file needs to be saved with UFT-8 encoding, so don't change that
