Leave it on like Vanderpump Rules star Scheana Marie here and you've got a serious regrowth issue on your hands. You end up with a French-tipped manicure of sorts but with the tips at the cuticle—and the tolerance for this look completely varies from person to person. So I'm wondering what the general consensus is here. How much regrowth is too much before it's officially time to switch? Is this example on the cusp for you? Way over the line? Or would you feel comfortable sporting the half-moon at the base like this? Discuss! Photos: Getty Images
