"realistic" nails?

Anyone know of a product that has irregular, bitten, dirty fingernails? I was working on a post-apocalyptic type render with a g3f character  and could not for the life of me find any "non-pretty" fingernails. Even the "natural" looking nails are all polished and regular in texture. I thought of just dirtying up one of the textures that I already but I'm not exactly a talented texture artist :)

    G3F/Eva 7 at the moment. But anything for Genesis 2 or 3 would be nice to find. Even Genesis 1.

    As a nail biter, I'm interested in the same thing. :p Dirtying them up and giving them matte settings would be easy. Not sure how to get that ragged edge. HD morphs would be an overkill. I guess transparency maps would be your best bet!

    I know that I do bad nails on my dirty skins.... Brynn, Sophie and Anita.

    Thanks for the tip. I figured that dirt and scratches would be pretty simple but wasn't sure what to do for an irregular edge. Transmap seems like it should be perfect for that :)

    I'll have to remember that next time I get a new character. Just bought your Stormy. Love her!

    Llorona by Fred Winkler Art and Sabby has wicked and dirty nails and a really bad set of teeth, great character.

    Another good one to keep in mind for future. That is one creepy character!
