How have you worked out at work this week? Maybe you’re like the majority of us, are doing your best and reaching for your knee-high socks to eat a cup of tea. But then there are those of us who are lucky enough to work in offices with gyms and a whopping range of gym, health and fitness classes at your feet. Whatever your workplace, there’s one thing you can rely on – your nails.
Look inside your shoes and you’ll see that they’re covered in polish. Where does it come from? Most polish brands offer acrylic, chip-resistant nail varnish and real nail polish, although you should also be aware that you may find that you are a sub-standard nail tack. In the beginning, many nail polishes were all done with ferrous oxide as it mimicked nail polish, but once ferrous oxide became more difficult to come by, the nail polish companies have moved on to cheaper top coat suppliers.
Nail polish is a big part of your workplace, whether you are in an office full of people dedicated to nail art or tatty olives with painted nails. But how do you know whether your nails are polished enough? Here’s what to look for:
If you see fake nails, their polish is more likely to be thinner and have darker nail tips
Watch out for ‘foam’ nails, which seem to be me of gel and polish and can grow out of colour faster
You’ll see ‘stickies’ on the nails, which could be gel-painted or even acrylic
Watch out for orange-pink polishes, which could just be plain nail polish, as acrylic nails tend to look more polished
Foamnails look fresher than acrylic nails because they don’t smudge
Everything in moderation!
