Step 1: Gather your supplies.
This method involves a few cheap items you should be able to find in any drugstore or department store.
You will need the following:
A box of fake white fingernails.
Make sure the box has several different sizes of nails, so when you make your fangs you can find a good fit for your teeth.
Denture adhesive.
This should be available at any drugstore in the oral care aisle.
Common denture glues are Polygrip and Fixodent.
Make sure the denture glue is clear or white.
A colored glue will show through the fangs when they are on your teeth, and you could end up with green or red vampire fangs.Nail clippers or a pair of scissors.
You'll need these to cut the nails, so either will work.
Whichever you use, make sure it is sharp, otherwise you won't be able to get a clean cut through the nails.
Nail file.
You will need this after cutting the nails to take care of any jagged edges left behind, so you don't cut your mouth. -
