From a chemistry standpoint as well as just a helpful tip one, I wondered if anyone had some insight on this...
First, my line of work currently allows me to wear nail polish of any style I wish, but there are times when not wearing polish is a good idea, perhaps even necessary (job interviews, business meetings, etc).
I use base coat every time, but some polishes seem to still find their way under the base coat and stain my nails. Which, when wearing no polish, can look either like I have a disease or that I wear polish, and as a guy, it's unfortunately sometimes in my best interest to conceal that fact upon first meetings with certain people. (again, job interviews, etc.)
Any tricks?
I find greens and the bright colors are sometimes the worst, but sometimes are fine. What is the deciding factor? Any clues?
Anyone else have a job where they can't wear nail polish and suffer from stains?
I own a recording studio right now, so stylin' nails is acceptable, but I am in school for mechanical engineering and will probably forgo the polish at job interviews, at least until I get the job and get comfortable.
Related, I recently had a consult meeting with a few members of a local church who needed someone to record a large performance there. I wore my polish, but was extremely polite and knowledgeable. They never called back. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I later found out they hired one of my students who is actually very inexperienced and struggles with the basics. Best person for the job is apparently blasphemy, lol.
