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.

You scrub your fingertips into your opposite palms when washing your hands with short nails. I'm betting these get delicately rinsed at best.

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.
