I went to a place (don't say it out loud but it was in The Villages) while we were on our LSV in December and had acrylics put on. There were things that happened to the application of color to the nails that have never been seen before by me or the others in the salon. Some weird film kept appearing. We deduced the nail polish was contaminated. As I sat there, I thought the place was dirty but was so far into my nail job I just sat there.
My nail salon back home keeps everything that touches my nails in a box with my number on the box. When I go there, the utensils for my nails are sanitized and used ONLY on me.

Thanks BK for the tip about the iodine. I've also been told to soak my fingers in listerine and also in vinegar. I also put drops on each night, probably the iodine product.
I definitely should have been more careful about the salon I used. But it is an extremely popular place here in TV and I guess I'm naive.
I have two nails that are very discoloured from the fungus. Of course the rest are tissue-paper thin from having had solar nails.
I'm wondering .. does anyone know how long it takes to fix fungus?
