Guitar: Right Hand Nails

I am at a lost for what to do with the fingers of my right hand, if anything. I've broken two of my nails already. The guitarist, Wes, recommended I get acrylics. I do remember getting those once. I think I kept them for a matter of days before I had them taken off. I didn't like the oppressive sensation.

My current thought is to get acrylics on my fingers and to leave my thumb alone. I want to build up a callous on my thumb. Something like that will never break or chip.

How do I get them shaped? How long should they be?

I haven't initiated a search on this just yet. I'm up for a little trial and error though.
