"Adele Uddo is one of the most prominent hand models in the business, earning between $1,000 and $5,000 per day and working with everyone from OPI to Vogue.  Her even skin tone, long fingers, and deep nail beds keep her in high demand, but, as she tells Forbes, there are some drawbacks to &amp;quot;working one hand job to the next.&amp;quot;   &amp;quot;A broken nail or little scrape can endanger a booking,&amp;quot; says Uddo, who often wear gloves to protect her money-makers and &amp;quot;obsessively moisturizes&amp;quot; in preparation for any big shoot. Sometimes it&amp;#039;s just her hands in the picture, but Uddo has also hand-doubled for everyone from Natalie Portman to Beyonc\u00E9. &amp;quot;Recently, I did a big campaign with some girls and hand-doubled for them, so I had to get below them and into their armpits,&amp;quot; said Uddo. &amp;quot;It can be go go go days. Like when I&amp;#039;m shooting for Essie, which I shoot for a lot, that can be six or 10 elaborate nail art looks a day.&amp;quot; In these cases, Uddo sometimes finds herself in the middle of what she calls a m\u00E8nage-\u00E1-cure, with two manicurists working on both her hands at once.
