One of the challenges I have with the longer nails is that I have rounded fingertips, so that whenever I grow them out just a bit past the tip of the finger they look a lot longer than they really are. When I'm playing enough, however, I tend to build up calluses on my picking fingers that help get a nice clear tone.
