Finger Picker's Tip - you can now have iron nails
« on: May 04, 2015, 10:56:06 pm »
Not sure how many are finger pickers with the problem of breaking nails.  I'd break a main picking nail and not be able to really play for several days to a week.  I found to be much better than super glue or any fake nail (acrylic) or other technique.  You can also get them to look way more normal and less feminine than other fake nails.   I can't believe how strong my 3 picking nails are with this stuff.  They have lasted for a couple of weeks of lots of playing. 

Here's a link to a demo of how to do them.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mswff2CzhCg

You can go to a nail salon and have them done for about $5 per nail, or to avoid feeling like a girl, just get all of the supplies and do it yourself.  It's about an $80 - $100 investment including the UV lamp and requires a little practice to get good at it.
