I play classical guitar and need to ahve my nails long. I use clear nail polish to help strengthen my nails becasue they have a habit of tearing at the base. A friend recomended using tissue paper and nail polish to stop a tear going all the way though the nail - are there any better ways? This problem happens to me a lot. Would a cream to toughen my nails help? My nails have to be slightly flexible to get a good sound out of the guitar, and I don't want to use fiberglass ones as these really damage your fingernails long term.
Please help - All sugestions welcome. Thank you :-)

try clear nailpolish (a strenghthening kind, check your diet to see if you are getting enough protein and nutrients.)
DRINK MILK!
cut nails- sometimes the nutrients will concentrate on a smaller area and will make the now smaller nail stronger!
Good luck- i play piano and i know what you mean, i just fine it easier to cut my nails and put a strenghtening nail polish or clear coat.

I have heard the best fix for a tearing nail is part of an unused tea bag and crazy glue. But that would really only be if you paint them a color so you wouldn't see the tea bag.
