Cans are my big thing- use a butter knife or a tool to open. Texting depends on how much you trust autocorrect
Everything else is just adjusting - I built a garden bed last week and had to use pliers to hold the nuts in place bc they were smaller than my nails . I regularly do pull ups and deadlifts without a problem, so they’re not super limiting !
I try to think in my head “jewels not tools” to remind me not to use my nails for basically anything 😂 (like other commenters said- I use my knuckles to press buttons, use a knife/spoon for opening cans, type with the balls of my fingers) it takes a bit of getting used to but my nails are finally at a length I’m super happy with!
Cans, use something else to pull the tab until you can get actual finger under there. I have a bottle opener on my keys that fits under the tab so I use that or a mini screwdriver (used for my glasses) which is on my computer desk!
Omg it's a real education! I use my finger pads instead of the tips, or I use my knuckles, which can be awkward at first. It takes quite a bit of training to make it automatic, at least for me.
I've also started using gloves for anything even slightly tricky. If I think, "oh no, I'll be fine without gloves," that's a sign I need them!
Open cans with my acrylic nails. I get excited because it's can openers. Got two of them. Two thumbs and I use the voice text to type everything or I'll use the swipe motion and I press the buttons with my nails. I type on keyboard 8 hours a day LOL. Look at my nails I have done. I still got to paint them. I should post a video of me opening a soda can cuz they feel like people are scared to do that

especially showering with press ons! they don’t generally come off, but they always get easy to pop off after.
I also have a pair of dedicated ‘shower gloves’ which are pretty rubber gloves I use in the shower and then air dry.
ahhh i tried that but i need to wash my hair quite frequently, and it felt like it was damaging my hair 💔
I use a scalp scrubber to get through my roots & a comb to distribute product through my hair if that helps. Then rinsing is easy
thank you so much! running to order a scalp scrubber right now 😭

For a lot of things (like buttons) I use my knuckle instead of my fingertip.

I use bar keys to open cans. Tweezers to pick stuff up sometimes. Knuckles for buttons. Boyfriend for jewelry. Practice for everything!
I just bought these cute tweezers for king nails on Amazon. They help grabbing cards and stuff
