you do need to check what they use carefully. I wanted to get a backfill for mine, but in the places I looked they used MME, which is a very dangerous chemical which can break and destroy your original nail. It also sets the acrylic like concrete, making it very hard to remove. MME is banned in most western countries, but still used in some Asian countries as it is much cheaper than EME (what they should be using). You need to ask to see the original container they are using - if it has an oniony smell don't use it.
