the problem it's the nails switching between nylon and steel!!

How about it!

I keep my nails pretty short, just enough to make a difference on nylon but not get hacked up on steel...lucky my steel string finger picking is a lighter style, usually hybrid with a pick...it's been a battle/compromise for me for years. Wish my nails were retractable...
