There are a couple of ways to achieve free edge protection with silk or fibreglass. One is not to trim the fabric right to the nail before applying your resins. Leave a bit hanging over and apply resin to the whole piece of fabric. ON finishing, shape and file at a 45degree angle so that the overlay always protrudes a bit more than the natural nail.

There is nothing to stop you applying a layer of Build or Boost over the nail art on your nails to keep it permanent. This will have to be buffed off though to change the nail art design.
