Wow.....far more information about artificial fingernails than a simple nerd like me can absorb.

Sally Hansen? Matrix? Jesus on the Mudcat? Little Hawk? Asian 'Pay-now ladies'? K-Y Gel? I simply don't understand what these things are all about.

OK, let's see now. So far I'm toughing it out but they DO still seem very awkward. I'm obsessive about my metal picks and spend a LOT of time cutting grinding and polishing them. Actually that's the reason that I recently realised that they're using different metals in them. Both Dunlop and pro-pick seem flimsy to me. Partly this is because I play very hard, but I'm sure it also has something to with reaching the age where you complain about EVERYTHING!

Anyhooo, I may go over to the (Mexican) lady in an hour and ask her to put the third one on.(ring finger). If I'm not comfortable by tomorrow night I'll use a flatpick.

Thanks for all the feedback.

Cheers

Rick
