I use the gel pads as they make nail removal very easy. The only thing I would say is make sure the false nails and your own nails are cleaned with an alcohol wipe or similar to remove any grease, prior to fitting, and cover as much of your own nails with the gel pads as you can. This may mean doubling up or cutting extra pads to fit. Obviously the longer the nail you want to fit, the more careful you will have to be with the tasks that you do. I rarely lose a nail in a 24hr period, using gel pads, and they can last 48hrs, with care. I worry that wearing glued long nails may precipitate a real one being torn off 😲
