Clipping Ohora nails after they grow out?

Hi everyone, I tried using Ohora nail strips for the first time a few weeks ago and really loved it. However I can't stand nails that are too long, so after they grew out I tried clipping them instead of just removing the sticker. Needless to say this was not a good idea because the stickers did not clip nicely after curing - there are cracks along the edges and I can't get it to be smooth no matter how much I file. Anyone had any experience/tips/suggestions for this? I really want to keep the nails on for as long as possible, but since my job requires a lot of typing I can't have long nails. Thanks in advance!!
