i like to use my fingernail for a pick sometimes, not for more strumming but for tremolo picking. not like classical fingernail picking...just like if you had a pick, but without the pick.

but the top of my nail gets all worn down and dusty.

Maybe try metal or plastic fingerpicks. They're not as accurate as a bare finger/fingernail, but they won't wear down as fast. They're louder than bare fingers, also.
