Nails are great...mine are weak. Some of them show cracking ,,,what can I do? I love classical guitar....crossed over from acoustic. having a hard time keeping the nails in shape. I love to play but short nails have a time limit daily. been thinking about.."Instant Nails?" Trying..."Hard as Nails" coating...so far not bad..kinda feels like a bandaid. I don't like the GLOSS LOOK at all. My guitar friends smile at me now.:(
You would get a better tone with P if you shortened the thumb nail and used some P-tip in the stroke. Do a search for kent musrdick classical guitar to see my videos.
Sorry, but this is an old school. Please look at David Russel thumb. If you pull in that manner your sound will be powerful and beautiful

@brian1321 Short nails that are filed and trimmed is what the Pros use. Be sure to use fine sand paper for your nails.

I hear long nails on the hand you strum/stroke with is better than shorter nails.
I personally hate that because it looks disgusting but a lot of people prefer that.
