Hey guys, really exciting news! I tried using a ping pong ball as a fake fingernail and it works really well! The tone/feel is extremely close to that of a real finger nail. I'm really stoked about this as it's much cheaper and easier than going to a nail salon to have an acrylic nail installed. Here a link to the guide I used:

Warning: If you're planning on trying this, be very careful and follow all the steps in that guide. This isn't for everyone, and there are things that can go wrong. As far as I've read though, it doesn't do permanent damage to your actual nail.
I can honestly say that this has solved a huge problem as far as my playing. Hope it helps a few of you that have the same problem I had. Use with caution though!
