The injury is to my self image. Thing is, your fingernail may be somewhat milky at the tip, but its transparent over the skin. Coat your fingernails with white plastic, and it looks bad.
Also have problems with the thickness of the nail. As your nail grows out, you need to file the plastic down. Eventually, you reach the point where the natural and artificial nails tips are exactly on top of each other at the tip. This leaves a really thick (double thick) nail which I found gets in the way of playing.
Is there a better product out there? Pictures anyone? A truly transparent nail? Is the fiberglass version clear or milky?

you are doing something wrong
i have one glued right now and you have to see closely to see the difference from my natural nails.
probably you spilled glue over the nail or you didnt push it on the correct position.
now when the natural nail grows you have to take out the artificial nail or file it from the top till you feel comfortble with your natural nail. Dont file beneath (your natural nail) because you will weaken it.
hope i helped a little
