Hi everyone!
I'm new to this forum and love it!
I'm also new to the ukulele - having played guitar, mandolin, violin, cello.... And I LOVE playing the ukulele. And all the educational information which is available online for free - it just amazes me how generous the ukulele family is!
So here's the question (finally). I love to fingerpick and find that my right-hand fingernails are generally not strong enough - I do a lot of sailing and other activities which do not add to the longevity of my nails. Any suggestions regarding "over the counter/drugstore" type of acrylics? Is the shape of the nail significant? Do you add nails to just the index and middle (and maybe thumb, or use a thumbpick), or do you also add a nail to the ring finger? Thanks in advance. I tried to search the forum but didn't find anything.
Have a blessed, ukulele day!
