So I got my fingernails painted with jell French tips and the lady said they will stay on for about 4 weeks. I have a comp in 3 weeks and was wondering if I could keep them on or would I have to get them taken of and then put back on. Te only reason I have them painted is because when I coach, I tend to poke the little kids evan when my nails are shorter than my fingers (apparently my nails are naturally sharp) and the coach suggested to get them painted with jell. Oh by the way I'm Australian and I will be competing another level 4 season *sigh*
