No fingernails Ukulele?

I can't grow out my nails because of other instuments + sports I play.. can I still finger pick on a ukulele or will my skin not be able to make a sound? I'd rather not have to put a bunch of plastic tips on either.. anyone know any videos or sound clips of ukulele playing without nails?

    These days you can learn how to play ukulele over the internet. You can find the best ukulele video lessons here: http://www.learnukuleleonline.com/ The videos are very easy to follow and to my surprise extremely helpful even for advanced ukulele players. For beginners I would have to say this is a gold mine.

    I was able to improve my skills in just under 4 weeks and I am an intermediate-to-advanced ukulele player; I've been playing ukulele for the past 3 years.

    I live in New York City, I wanted to go to a ukulele teacher but that would have cost me over $800 per month. Good thing with this internet, $800 it's a lot of money for me. Good luck!
