"Nail" me!

I love the look, and the feel of artificial nails. But I wont wear them anymore.

I took a microbiology class that had us compare the bacteria growth in a petri dish of 2 classmates who had just washed their hands for equal amount of time, using the same soap and technique.

The amount of bacteria growing in the petri dish the woman with fake nails vs the one who didnt OMG it was really gross. Seriously. There was no growth in the other dish.

Sad, but now every time I start wishing for those nails, I see those little cresent moons of fuzz in that petri dish and sigh.
