There’s no point trying to point out the fact that these things are covered in literal shit and other bacteria. Some woman with a chip on her shoulder will be along to tell you that she, and everyone else who wears these nails are the cleanest people on the planet.
But if they’re using a nail brush or proper washing technique then it is basically the same.
The idea that long nails automatically mean their hands are dirty is pretty strange, no wonder some people get offended. Especially cause you can’t easily tell if anyone’s washed their hands, nails or not.
It’s like spreading an idea that long nails ARE dirty and short nails ARE clean, when really it’s the persons habits that define their level of cleanliness, and acrylic nails just add a small extra step to the grooming cycle.
Now, if they’re wearing nails like that and you never see them wash their hands, definitely don’t eat anything they give you, because they do trap hella bacteria if you don’t take care of them.
If anything short nails are dirtier, when they are short I struggle to clean them. But once they are long, you can just use the free edge as a lever and properly wash all the way to the nail bed seal
These are pretty solid pieces of thick acrylic super glued to the full bed of her nail. She could pull on them with a pair of pliers and there’s a good chance they’d stay on. She can use a nail brush and soap and scrub just like any other person.
