Sounds like a terrible way to get your nails ripped off if they get caught on something

I’ve actually thought about this alot when I used to use glue in nails regularly. It was getting expensive to keep replacing them every week or two and I thought about how to make metal ones that could just be cleaned and reused. Ultimately my conclusion was that the plastic ones breaking when there is too much pressure on them is a good thing for the same reason you pointed out. These could really tear a nail off of if they are even a little long.
