sometimes i do my nails, sometimes i don't. whether my nails are done or not, it does not affect my engineering output

though i have not done them for a few months because i prefer to use gel polish and that was making my nails too brittle.

@ariadne you should use a propper base coat. That will take care of brittle nails through polish.

@ariadne that sucks 😞 When I'm back home I'll ask my sis what fixed it for her.I thankfully can put on whatever and my claws are fine.

@TheOneDoc basically when they are polished they are fine, when i take the polish off, they are not fine anymore.

@ariadne hmm maybe it's your paint remover?

@TheOneDoc gel nails are removed through abrasion, which damages the nail over time

@TheOneDoc no I mean the polish. you remove it by filing it. It's not like regular polish where you just use acetone.

@ariadne @TheOneDoc my salon has been using this stuff lately that causes the polish to lift up, then they scrape it off with a cuticle stick. https://a.co/d/0aLPRhwI They really shouldnt file down to the nail, just enough to break the top layer and then soak in acetone. I’ve been gel nails for about 4+ years continuously without a break by now.

@ariadne @TheOneDoc however I do agree that it’s not great for my nails.

@TheOneDoc @irene this is useful to know. thankfully the damaged part of the nails has mostly grown out by now. so when i start again I'll go with this and remove it myself.

@ariadne imagine a world where getting nails done did affect our engineering output 💅

@ariadne Now I am curious what motivated this post!I don’t paint mine because I don’t trust the chemicals in nail polish. The fact that it is considered a chemical hazard in the food service sector tells me all I need to know.

@alwayscurious oh I saw someone joking that nail polish makes them a 10x engineer basically.

@ariadne @alwayscurious I use to joke that I thought better in heels (and had shoes depending on how I felt towards my code). In another life, I had the #hackinginheels hashtag

@ariadne @TheOneDoc ohhh @dan only just pointed out that you are in Seattle. If you are anywhere close to Northgate, go to Nice nails in the strip mall with Family donuts and tell Kim and Khanh that Irene sent you and you want them to use the painted on gel remover (no idea what its called). The donuts are excellent too but you have to make an appt before 10am to get them 😂

@ariadne @TheOneDoc @dan hmmm yeah it’s tough because there are a lot of places that do a really shoddy job and I don’t know any place down there. I tried a bunch when my nail salon was on hiatus because they moved locations and most were terrible. One place that didn’t sterilize their tools, another one that painted gel onto my cuticles, etc. it’s so hit or miss. But I’d just keep trying new places and keep an eye on them while they work on your nails for first time. It’s annoying though. 😢
