beats the days when you would do anything if you broke a nail before a show such as gluing it back on or keeping small cuttings of ping pong balls and gluing them to your nails.

Looks like something I should try since I have a bad habit of biting my nails on both hands.
I usually switch between fingerpicking and using a pick, and sometimes I do both. But without the nails, fingerpicking gets a little tricky.
