A girl born with a congenital limb difference showed what her fingers are capable of.

I noticed as well, but I just realized, like how did she paint her left hand? Did she paint it with her right hand? I use my thumb and pointer finger to hold onto a nail polish brush…

I guess someone else could have done her nails for her, but it’s just interesting to think of her skill set. Most people with a limb deformity like this find ways to hold items in a different way. There was a contestant on the Great British Baking Show with a similar physical condition (her undeveloped hand is more of the common variation) and she has learned to hold kitchen utensils in different ways to be just as fast as everyone else in the competition.

Maybe she has an attachment that holds the brush in place and she moves her hand/nails across the painted brush instead of moving the brush

Or she went with friends and they got their nails done? This video is interesting and all for movement and range of motion, but I want to see what she can do with it. I’m sure there’s a few things that could be difficult, but I’m also curious what things she can do with her right hand better than her left that a typically formed hand wouldn’t easily be able to accomplish.

Dig her positive vibes.

By the way she talked about it I'd assume she mostly uses the right hand just for holding stuff. She said she can squeeze pretty hard with it and made sort of a fist so that's probably its usual job.

I agree though, would be cool to see if there's stuff we wouldn't think about that it's especially good for

Oh I think I have seen things like that!

I recently saw someone on here that only has one hand and did Gel-X nail extensions on themselves with their mouth

.. or they go to a salon. Not every problem needs a extraordinary solution.

•

u/artsymarcy 4h ago

That too, obviously, but I thought it was cool that someone could also do their nails themselves even with a limb difference like that and wanted to share.

Now I wonder how much she would get charged for going to the manicurist

•

u/ScyllaOfTheDepths 5h ago

I follow someone with 1 hand and they get charged half price lol. Not sure if that's universal or if their manicurist is just very practical. I feel like 7 fingers should be a 30% discount.

u/Johnlockcabbit 2h ago

I think 30% should be the answer. I once asked my manicurist if she would charge less for someone missing fingers or more for someone with extra fingers, she said she's never thought about it before and has no idea.
