You run the risk of having very sore or infected nails if you try to file it off or pick it off. I complied once to having this done in order to have 'nice hands' for my role as a bridesmaid. It was very painful afterward. I like short nails for my craft work and so will not do it again.

It may have been. All they asked me was if I wanted a non chip polish. Since we were in Chicago for SIL funeral I said sure that way it would not chip ..... I've learned ---- But I also like it as it hasn't chipped nor worn down which is nice for all the fabric I cut everyday.

I have acrylic nails, and am yet to find a polish that doesn't ship or rub around the edges of my nails

then again, I'm doing a lot of blanket stitch by hand and the specialist needle is brutal on the nail tips if I'm not really careful

I know in NY you can add a UV gel treatment to acrylic nails it's said to make the polish last longer.
