Gel manicures on the playa?
I wore nail polish to my first burn, six years ago. The playa + nail polish = something so gross that I didn't even wait until getting home to remove the polish. Every year since then, I just bite the bullet and cut my nails super short and forgo the polish. This year though, I discovered gel manicures and it seems like it might be a good solution for the playa. My nails would be super strong for building/tear-down and they would look pretty to boot. Has anyone ever done this? Good idea? Bad idea? Thoughts appreciated.

I have gone to Burning Man two years in a row with gel nails. They looked great and came through just fine. I had them done nice and fresh just a couple days before I went out and they still lasted me another 2 weeks after the burn. I do still keep them short though and not super long. Just the end on my fingertip basically. I'm sure that plays into them being as nice as they were.
