Since my first pregnancy, I rarely paint my nails.
It’s toxic, especially the fake long ones.
I don’t see why women value applying toxins to their body in general. It’s weird if you really think about it. Men apply way way less toxins to their body.

When have you ever seen a classy professional women wearing fake long nails? It doesn't happen.
The question wasn't about fake nails. It was about nail polish. One doesn't need to have long or fake nails to use polish.

I think nail polish unless it's very subtle makes the hands/nails look dirty. Plus I work with my hands constantly and I would hate to deal with the constant upkeep of most nail polishes. I also believe that nail polish is toxic, and so I only wear organic/nontoxic brands like Tenoverten or Zoya.

Love this. What colors are you wearing this Fall?
Peridot, which is a gold/green. I'm not sure Chanel males it anymore.
Oiseau de nuit, which is a flat purple/brown
My go-to is Shantung, which is a pretty red.
I'm not sure it's the polish or my manicurist, but my nails typically stay chip-free for more than a week.

I do not like painting my nails for several inconsequential reasons. However I have started to use gel polish and this nail polish powder stuff to make my nails harder. Reason: I have one nail with a vertical weak spot, so along the length of the nail. No matter how short and trimmed and filed my nails were, it kept catching on stuff and tearing. It was very painful.
Does anyone have a solution that does not involve going to the salon and getting my nails done? Thanks!
