I have always said I would give anything but my acrylic nails and my cleaning ladies. I have had acrylic nails for 20 years. I wear bright colors (e.g. reds, pinks); occasionally wear blue on my toes in the summer. My bright nails are for me ... they make me smile and I love them. I'm not giving them up. I'll be the one in the nursing with "shameless hussy red" nails.
