I don’t use metal finger pcks a lot. For some reason my finger tips don’t get sore and I don’t develop large calluses from holding down the strings. I do use mostly the padded part of my finger when finger picking but do use my short finger nails when I dig in for more sound. I do coat my right handed finger nails with fiber glass tap and nail glue on about 3/4th of the 2 fingers I use in finger picking and have to redo it every month.

James Taylor did a video on u tube regarding finger style guitar nail care that is very helpful.
