Dear 2000 Guitar folks:
I am writing to tell you about a new product I have developed: the
Emergency Nail Kit from RICONAILS .
When you break a nail it is a real drag to wait around for weeks until the natural nail grows out. Right? Your only alternative is to either suffer and play anyway, or glue on a false nail with super glue, which of course is not good for your real nail (or your general health).
I reject the super glue solution. In its place I have found an adhesive that is not permanent, not toxic, goes on and comes off with ease, and really works in holding the false nail in place as you play guitar. I play a lot and hard, and these nails stay on fine and sound great. No bull.
I developed this system because I wanted to escape from the "toxic cycle" of cyanoacrilate glue, acrylics, gels, wraps, etc. All these systems of artificial nails currently available are bad for your nails.
RICONAILS are the answer to the problem of broken nails. Also, my system can be utilized to enable any guitarist to stop using a synthetic toxic system (such as acrylics or glue on tips). This is all in my forthcoming book "Guitarist's Guide to Fingernails" MB21258 from Mel Bay Publications.
If you are interested in finding out more about the Emergency Nail Kit and the RICONAIL system, please write me back and I will be glad to explain and answer any questions you may have regarding this revolutionary new system of false fingernails.
Regards,
Rico Stover
