I've made something for those of you who either have or would like to have a #Ruth2 v4 mesh body:

Nail polish. The first third-party nail polish for this body.

As you can see, it comes in two boxes. The one on the left contains the same 22 colours previously available as presets in the nail polish applier for Ruth 2.0. As a bonus, there's a mint nail polish derived from the standard setting on a copy of the same nail polish applier which I found in the #RothToo box.

The one on the right contains the 8 colours from the Ruth2 v4 HUD that aren't meant to be nail bed colours. Using the HUD for actual nail polish is a kluge anyway because it leaves the same white tip that's necessary for a proper nail bed. BoM nail polish, on the other hand, covers the entire nail.

Altogether, it's 31 colours.

Now, nail polish for Ruth2 v4 is not only based on Bakes-on-Mesh, it also makes use of so-called Universal Wearables which weren't available before #OpenSimulator 0.9.1.1. Unfortunately, older #OpenSim versions can't ignore Universals. Instead, if you try to teleport into a sim running an OpenSim version that's too old (including 0.8.2.1 as well as Arriba), you'll get the message that "your avatar is too complex".

Also, obviously, the nail polish won't become visible until you switch your nails to BoM with Ruth2 v4's own HUD. But it's all explained in the Readme notecards that come with the boxes.

As of now, the only place where you can get the boxes is my bodyshop in the Westend on #DorenasWorld (

; dorenas-world.de:8002:Westend). I've also submitted them to @Austin Tate / @Ai Austin to be added to the official #RuthAndRoth sim (hg.osgrid.org:80:RuthAndRoth). @Juno Rowland and I are going to deliver the boxes to other sims that offer Ruth2 v4 by and by.
