The acrylic material is harder than most things
it comes up against. I can lay bricks and repair
cars and not bother them a bit.

How obvious do they look?

Dull the shine with 8000 grit micro mesh.
They look like real nails but longer.

What's the deal here?

Maybe I have been on the moon or somewhere but I never heard of false or acrylic nails apart from women's cosmetic falsies. I've used natural nails to pick with athroughout my 30 odd years of playing and have always been a bit paranoid before big gigs... never been able to use fingerpicks although I do sometimes hybrid with a flatpick on some electric stuff like Albert Lee or Rory Gallagher would....

These things are like secondary nails which are glued over the top of your existing ones and then filed to shape?
