Super glue is the kind of bodge that I couldn't possibly come un-stuck with (ba-dum), I'll give that a go until Mrs Snags catches me and complains. Despite it being developed to seal wounds she gets the right hump when I use it for things like this.

I focussed on classical and flamenco for a few years, by doing the above I had no problems.
Now I am playing more electric again with plectrum, and have stopped doing the above, my nails are pathetic!
Finger picks: lots out there, any recommendations as a taster (i.e. not too heavy an investment if I turn out to find them impossible)?
Regarding fingerpicks - see my earlier post on Alaska picks.
I just get the stuff from amazon, the one one the left is a primer which helps acrylic stick (I have had the same bottle for about 4 years and still am nowhere near running out. The rest are all readily available on Amazon. The other things to get are good graphite based files ,really cheap for a pack of ten (they do wear out pretty quickly and a decent brush ( Amazon again ).
Primer brand TNBL
Liquid brand The Edge
Powder brand Had a few, they all seem to do the same job
Brush cleaner Acrylux
TBH i suspect that any brand would do the job for the sake of guitar nails.
The hardest part was learning to be accurate getting the liquid and powder onto the brush then applying it with my left hand. That being said, you can either wipe off and start again or just file away any excess.
