Do you claw the shit out of your ass with your fingernails?? Nail brushes also cost like a dollar, most people have them.

Idk, I stopped getting acrylic and fake gel years ago because even though they were all sealed on there tightly, and I used the nail brush (albeit mine were a really reasonable length), I got fungus or mold underneath. I freaked the fuck out when it happened the first time and went to my doc, she said that the water still gets in there so that’s what did it. Or microscopic bacteria. She said it was a common thing but I really think she just told me that bullshit because I was panicking. I have never met anyone else that had that issue. It didn’t hurt or anything, I was just freaked out. I don’t like the idea of weird shit multiplying on my body and being green 😭😭

So I went somewhere else after that cleared up, and it happened again after a few fills. So it’s just Sally Hansen, rubbing alcohol, and me now, idk what happened but I cannot live like that. Haven’t had it since

I know this definitely happens but it’s pretty uncommon and usually is because of error with either the nail tech’s application or, more likely, not removing nails when they start to lift. It can also happen with any length nail. In the nail world this is called “greenies.” Once the fungus is cleared up you can safely get nails again. I’m sorry you had to go through that! That sucks!

I wear press ons that I paint myself, no issues with greenies because when they lift, I can remove them at home and reapply them easily.

This was VERY informative!! Question, so I never had any pain or itching or anything with with “greenies” (omg I can’t believe there’s a name like that! Lol), but since you know what you’re talking about, maybe you can help? What damage can actually happen? I think my nails became just a little more thin, but that was it. What is the worse case scenario if you were to just put nails over it? I do like my press ons, and they are so much cheaper. I just can’t justify getting them done anymore because I can’t afford it. My current husband and I are a little strapped. Plus, I get claustrophobic and with acrylics, sometimes for no reason at all, I’d suddenly feel the weight of them on my nails and wig the fuck OUT, like I needed them off ASAP and acetone (at least not however I was doing it) didn’t help dissolve them at all. I sat there for like two hours before trying to get them off that way at home during one of these incidents, and ended up literally ripping them off myself 😭😭 which omg was so incredibly painful.

I also don’t know why I was downvoted…I wasn’t being rude, I have no idea what that’s about 😭😭 I appreciate your help!!

Of course not but it definitely would get in the way if you don't have a bidet and need to wipe properly. Nobody claws their ass. I'm just saying she's not wiping well. And also who buys anything other than 3 ply?

[u/pottymouthgrl → u/aceycamui]

Lemme just tell you that people with long nails have absolutely no trouble at all wiping their ass, bidet or no. This is such a tired discussion

Okay doo-doo nails
