Thanks Natalie...yes I will be taking them off in about a month or two. I struggle at the best of times with them, even though they were made shorter than what most people have them. I feel like I'm constantly poking my patients in the eyes (I'm an optometrist) so they've also made work a little harder...BUT they make my hands look much nicer *hehe* (I've bitten my nails from a very young age so they never grew back properly!)
