If you put a full falsie on the new growth will show after about a week so the falsie makers recommend changing them every 7 to 10 days. If you google for guitar fingernail shaping you should get some links that will show you how to shape them for optimal playing. James Taylor also has a cool vid on youtube about his nails, but he goes through way more trouble than is really necessary.
I did the James Taylor way for a while and it works but now I use the false nails too just like you I like the Kiss nails short or real short glue-on everlasting french

Kiss Nails Glue On, Everlasting French, Real Short, and Crazy Glue or Super Glue
