How to straighten curved nails
I'm an acoustic fingerpicker and my nails have curved, growing closer to the flesh of the finger tip. Have you or do you know of anyone who has straightened curved finger nails?

Acrylics cured both my up-curving nail and gave them the strength to play steel strings. I very much doubt that acrylics have "fixed" my up-curving nail...I suspect that that is genetics and that if I allowed the acrylics to grow out and went back to my natural nails I'm sure I'd find that same old problem. Acrylics (or fiberglass) may solve your problem since the bond to the stronger material will hold your nails straight. I've had them continuously for 22 years now and I won't look back. But be forewarned, acrylics are addictive and, depending on how fast your nails grow, it can take six months or more to recover from them if you decide that you don't like them. Phil

Or you can try "The Thing" on this page. http://www.mangore.com/fingernails-2-12-101 Please note however that I have never used it or attacked my nails with a soldering iron and I do not endorse the method at all. |
