To sign nose, form your dominant hand into a '1' handshape by extending your index finger and curling your other fingers into your palm. Bring your hand up to your face and gently tap the tip or bridge of your nose with the pad of your index finger. Your palm should be facing toward you. It is a very natural, pointing motion!
Start by pointing to your nose with your dominant index finger. Then, sign 'cold' by bringing both hands in front of you, making fists, and shaking them slightly as if you are shivering from the chilly weather.
First, point to the person to indicate 'your'. Next, point to your own nose using the '1' handshape. Finally, sign 'red' by brushing the tip of your index finger downward across your lips.
Sign 'dog' by patting your leg and snapping, then point to your nose. Finally, sign 'wet' by bringing your hands down in front of you while bringing your fingers and thumbs together, as if feeling moisture.

A single, deliberate touch or a quick double tap are both perfectly acceptable when signing the noun 'nose.' In casual, everyday conversation, a single, clear touch is usually enough to convey the meaning effectively.
No, they are different! While both signs are located near the nose, 'smell' typically uses a flat hand waving upward toward the nose to represent catching a scent. 'Nose' is just a simple point with the index finger.
It is generally best practice to use your dominant hand for one-handed signs like 'nose.' However, if your dominant hand is holding something, using your non-dominant hand is completely fine and will be easily understood by others.
