You definitely need some calcium supplements if it takes you a month to grow a nail! Haha, it depends on the finger and how deep the break is. I, M, and A don't usually break that far down, so I can file it down and salvage it; maybe a week and a half tops before it's back in full action. My thumb is a different story, usually the breaks require me to take all of the excess nail off (to how a "normal" men's nail would look) and that can take about a month, maybe more before it's at an optimal length. quote:
If you break a nail during a performance, it's like breaking a string mid-solo: stop b*tching and work with it! Yup, that's my philosophy too haha, unfortunately my right hand technique is still a baby, so I have a bit before I possess such skills. I just can't imagine being able to pull off some techniques full speed using only flesh, let alone the imbalance between nailed and non-nailed fingers. I figured the acrylic idea is good as an emergency backup. I don't want to have to rely on acrylics but I should probably try it at least once so I know what it feels like in case I ever need it.
