Playing with your nails

[Bluesfan]

Does anybody else have problems with weakening nails after very long practise sessions or after continous use without falling back on a pick? I was considering using nail varnish (clear obviously :p ) to strengthen my nails, does anybody else do this? just curious...

Hey Bluesfan, well I play with a pick most of the time, but i know many people who play with their fingers, and yes, some of them do use strengthening varnish (although its not always clear, lol) and theyre always filing their nails.

hope this helps,

LOL, I think I'll be sticking with clear.... ;)

I used to have a problem with getting long nails and keeping them, but then I just got use to playing with short nails. I kind of like the sound better when part of my skin hits the string anyway.

YO! I had the same problem... look on the drugstore for nail GLUE or nail HARDNER (sp?) the glue (used to glue nail, duh!) makes them harder... and there is this product that makes your nail harder! look around

geez, i used harder like, 3x...

I have heard :
grenetin helps with the nails hardness and how fast they grow. Drink it in a milkshake with some fruits and protein! it is also tasty!
Also it makes your hair grow faster, so, if you like to headbang there you go!
