The one nail colour an expert says will never come back into fashion.

“You probably guessed it — it’s full colour white all-over nail polish. And when I say white, I mean stark white.”

Milky white polish gals, you can breathe a sigh of relief.

“It’s not a vibe, it’s not very nice, it looks tacky. I can guarantee that you’ll have a client, she likes it for all of like two days and then realises it looks like Tipp-Ex and it looks cheap and it looks nasty,” she said. 

For the uninitiated, Tipp-Ex is basically like Wite-Out. 

“At the end of the day, as a nail tech, I do not want you to be walking around with nails that ultimately I don’t like. Because my name and reputation is against those set of nails. And I don’t want people to think my nails look cheap and tacky,” she added.

“I don’t know how I’d feel if my nail tech refused something I was paying for,” one person commented. 

Another person wrote, “As a nail tech… I’ll do any colour/style my clients pay me to do.”

Ooft.

In a follow-up video, Mayfield addressed the commentary around her viral post, reminding people that as a self-employed nail tech, it’s okay to uphold a boundary when it comes to client requests.

“Being a nail tech and a beauty service provider is so much more than what you’re getting paid,” she said.
