I currently work as a dental assistant, and I just recently started getting my nails done and I LOVE it. I’ve always just done my own nails, just regular polish, but it never lasted and I was never happy with the outcome. I started getting shorter/medium length almond shaped nails. My boss hasn’t even noticed, and the other assistant gets acrylics too (short square).

One of the other assistants got on me calling me unprofessional and nasty for getting acrylics, liiiikeeee 😐

Mind you, I wear gloves most of the day, and when I wash my hands I use a nail brush to get under the nails.

My question is are there any other dental assistants here with acrylics? If not, would you as a patient feel weird seeing a dental assistant with tasteful acrylics on? Let me know!
