To answer the OP's question----No, I also wouldn't have said anything since some people are
crazy! I would've been shocked to see her painting all ten of dd's nails!
As far as the GROSS factor....
Since I see SOO many people in public bathrooms who either don't wash their hands AT ALL, OR they don't wash long enough, Andd...the one that makes me wanna laugh and roll my eyes---people that turn on the water and barely put their fingers under it---my sister always says
the water people are just "doing it for show"....LOL....why even BOTHER dribbling plain water on your fingertips....
I'll never forget how grossed out I was when Oprah had a show about the mints that are in bowls at restaurants. They tested
the wrappers, and there was SO much E. Coli on them..... Ever since then, whenever we see them at restaurants,
my hilarious sister-in-law calls them "FECA-MINTS !!"
Annabella made some good points, so I was thinking of what COULD'VE been on the girl's nails and was very curious if E Coli, etc. survives in nail polish, so I did some googling. I'll just
put ONE of my findings here: (from the site "Refinery 29"---I looked for more scientific websites, but it was very difficult to find)
In general, sharing nail polish does not present a health or infection risk,” she says. “This is because the solvents in nail polish are chemically toxic to microorganisms by degrading their cell walls within seconds of contact. In fact, there have been studies that show that microbes cannot survive in nail lacquer, whether they are in a salon or deliberately contaminated with microorganisms for laboratory studies.” So, you don't have to give that much-used bottle of Mademoiselle at your local nail joint the stink-eye anymore.
(I bolded "stink-eye" just because I thought it was funny)
