Re: Re: nail trim pre cast removal!

[Guest guest]

Such great advice, ! I cant tell you how many times I forgot to do

that..... and if I would take my eyes off of her for 5 min.'s she'd

scratch her lil back & sides til she bled! We really need to put this

reminder on site!

Would anyone be willing to write up a short paragraph on nail trimming pre

cast removal to add to the " What to expect " prompt? If so, please let me

know and we'll get it up there asap.

Thanks !
