I go to a local nail salon. They use a white powder and dip the brush in what I assume is acetone, then paint it on. They can form the nail in any way or thickness you like. Cost around 20 dollars or less. Last for about one month for me. Looks pretty natural.



I have tried doing all this myself. I just get better results from a professional.

You do not have to finger-pick to use this sort of thing.

Also, modifying plastic thumb picks is common. Here is a photo of a standard Dunlop and one I modified.
