Shellac Manicure problems

Is it safe to cut the nail all the way off completely seeing as it is shellac? Or should I wait until I get a manicure and let a professional do this?

Thanks.

Shellac should be ideally removed by a nail technician. It’s also only designed to last 2-3 weeks before it needs removing. You should make an appointment to get it removed - if you go back to the salon who applied it, it’s usually free.

But yes, i believe you can cut your nail without any issues. The shellac is strong enough to hold a damaged nail together artificially for a while but you can still cut or file if you need to.
