    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.

    Was this considered the uv gel manicure?

    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.
