I do not have super long nails I consider it unhygenic also because I work with animals. I wash my hands many times a day and also underneath my nails, don't worry I am not blind yet. I could use gloves but it is hard to work with and blend plus they are bad for the environment and can cause allergies.
Nail polish? If I mainly use some glitter. It should be an extra layer over the polish but I dont like it. Just a bit glitter shines enough. 🤣

I wish you a great weekend.
