Longer/acrylic nails at work?
I struggle to keep my natural nails looking nice & it seems every time I get them to a decent length they want to crack, break, etc. I use stengthener, I even tried taking Biotin but I can't handle those huge pills on a daily basis. I used to always wear acrylics years ago & I was thinking about maybe going back to them. I would get them pretty short so that they look more natural. But, I am just worried that they will get in the way with things like applying false lashes to customers. So, my question is how many of you that work at MAC wear acrylics & do you find that it interferes with your make-up applications?

Re: Longer/acrylic nails at work?
Yes I have acrylic nails, they are a good length but not too long, They do not interfere with my makup application at all. What I like about them is they are durable, and the polish stays on! Remember along with a pretty face goes pretty fingers and I think nice clean polished fingernails are a must in this business. (Even natrual nails are fine as long as they are presentable)
hope this helped

Re: Longer/acrylic nails at work?
I have acrylic nails and I don't think it interferes at all!! The one thing is I used to go through tons of different acrylic colors and now since I'm at mac I can only have black or white.. It's cool though!! I actually find it easy to put on lashes with them because I can hold them really precisely and I can use the corner of my nail to press the edges of the lashes if the glue isn't really holding that well... You know?? I think you just have to wear them and figure out if you can handle it with makeup application and whatnot.
