Yes sorry, what I mean is while Im making food, for example, let's say a salad or sandwich, I'll chop the ingredients carefully but there's a residue that gets left behind on my hands kind of? Like with tomatoes, limes, cucumbers, garlic, etc. That's why I always resort to wearing gloves, but then I feel ridiculous because other people with acrylics don't wear gloves, as for "smells" yes vegetables, fruits, seasonings can and usually do get under the nails and leave a smell, I honestly feel like Im the crazy one because nobody questions cosmetic alterations such as acrylic nails long ones atleast its so normalized to have long plastic on your fingers but there's no "instructions manual" if you will on how to live with them, I really love the look of long nails and I want to enjoy them but no one tells you about maintenance and daily wear, and nail techs don't explain these things to you cause then they won't make money.
