In the meantime I have to be extra special careful with it because sometimes it catches on things and tears a little more. Ouch! Perhaps I should keep my nails a little shorter so this doesn't happen so often. I'm often lifting heavy things at work and it's probably not such a good idea to keep my fabulous nails so long.
