Fancy fingernail suggestion

This student heard the message loud and clear about keeping left hand fingernails short enough to be able to play her violin. We are so thankful to her that she balanced her interest in having cute nails with setting herself up to play in tune and with proper position. She kept her nails this way for the whole year.

(Is also mostly the same for viola, cello, and bass)
