Never Again

I, Jaclyn, hereby solemnly swear to not get white gel nail polish again until next summer. 

My mother is in charge of infection control for a local medical practice. She cannot have gel nail polish because it absorbs germs / bacteria / icky things. Therefore, I knew that gel polish wasn't very... ahem... clean. After getting white gel polish, I have visually experienced the dirt and grim that the polish absorbs. 

For the first few days, I LOVED the polish. 

It was classic. 

It was chic. 

It was stark white. 

Then... it turned icky. My bronzer turned the tips of my nails orange. I looked like I had a messy halloween / creamsicle manicure. Very unforgiving. I would only recommend getting white for a particular event and then getting them redone within the week. 

As for my nails, I will stick to pinks, purples, and reds in the future. 

Like most painful yet beautiful experiences in life, I will probably only abstain from white temporarily. 

I just wish that someone had warned me. 

So here I am, warning you.

Ciao for Now! 

Jac
