Demystify:
Take it from someone who wore 1.5 inch nails for years of nightclub gigs, they are thick, long, very flammable plastic. And if they catch fire, the are going to seriously burn the ends of the fingers. These longer ones also impair dexterity in the lab. Monona

My 2-cents:
If it is not interfering with the dexterity required for the operation, I won't have a problem with it.
We have seen that some students and teachers use quite long fancy nails while working in the lab. This topic was the object of a discussion in UNISON (University of Sonora). The arguments included the respect of the person to use that type of nails. However, it was also commented that it is a risk for those who use those fantasy nails and also for those who are working around in the lab.
What is your opinion about it? Have you implemented any policy in this regard?
Best regards,
