    Default dirty acrylics?

    i have acrylic extensions where i start by getting the white tips, and as they grow out, just getting the white of the nail airbrushed on. every couple of days i put on clear varnish so the white doesn't rub off and to keep them looking shiny.

    the past few days though, the whites of my nails are really grubby! like, they're grey rather than white! i haven't done ANYTHINg that i can think of that would make this happen, maybe it's the clear varnish?

    does anyone else get this problem? what can i do to solve it? would gels be better so you just see my natural underneath and there's no need for airbrushing?

    help! i'm spening a fortune making my nails look nice and now they look like i've been digging through the mud with them!

    I think gels look COMPLETELY better than acrylics. I still get my gels airbrushed, though. Ummm... do you tan? I know that I have to put these little caps over my nails when I hit the tanning bed so that my gels don't turn yellow... Acrylics might be the same way?
