If you're looking for fake nails....

I got a kit in the mail yesterday from guitarplayernails.com - and so far am really impressed with these. I've been playing so much lately that my real nails just won't stand up to the steel strings and have gone the Nailene route before, but these always seem to come off pretty quick.

The kit comes with some wickedly strong super glue (super-super glue?) and a great instructional video to show how they are applied. It wasn't a quick process....at least not the first time around - but the owner of the company told me that his stay on for 6 weeks to 2 months. The kit also comes with some small pipettes which work great for getting the glue to the back of the nail. They don't look pretty (at least not my first-timer job) but the plastic material has a great pick-like tone and feels like it's welded to my finger.

You can also order the glue and pipettes seperately and I would recommend them to anyone using other glue-ons.

Got great support from the owner on my order. Will keep everyone posted as to how they last and play.
