I don't recommend polishing guinea pig's nails at all because of everything that is used to make nail polish is not really good. Even the smell , it is very strong and you wouldn't want to harm your guinea pig with whatever is in the nail polish.
Not normally unless they have a disease on there feet in which a vet/doctor has to remove it. Guinea pigs can 'chip' there toe nails as a human does but it eventually grows back. hope this helped!

You should cut your guinea pigs nails once every month.

A guinea pig does not bite it owns hands. Like other animals it cleans itself. You can see this in healthy guinea pigs. Young guinea pigs, who has been taken from their mother too soon, does not always learn how to clean themselves. Overweight guinea pigs can have a problem doing it, as well as those with very long nails. Some guinea pigs also keep their nails short white cleansing, by biting their nails.

Yes so make sure your guinea pigs get their nails clipped regularly, and when the guinea pig's nails start to curve put the run on concrete so they can scratch away and ware their nails down. Bent nails can be painful so keep an eye out as it makes it easier for guinea pigs to dig out of the run.
No! Have you seen what they do to guinea pigs? They keep them in such small GLASS CAGES! that proves PETCO cannot do anything good for your guinea pig. Not to be harsh, but you need to buy nail clippers from petco and cut them yourself. And NEVER, EVER let PETCO cut your guinea pigs nails.
On average about once A month.

You should cut your guinea pig's nails when you notice them getting too long or curling. Overgrown nails can cause discomfort and potential injury to your guinea pig. Regular nail checks and trims are recommended to keep their nails at a healthy length.
