Oh, yuck…

This doesn’t look good…

A woman named Kaycee posted a video on TikTok and showed viewers how a routine visit to a nail salon ended up with her having some funky fungus on her cuticles.

Kaycee told viewers, “I think I got a fungus from the nail salon, so come with me to get my acrylics taken off.”

She said she had an acrylic overlay filled in on her nails two weeks earlier, but then she started to see some dark spots underneath the acrylics.

Kaycee showed viewers her fingers and said, “You can see right here the darkness that’s under the acrylic. Hopefully, it’s not mold, but it’s not looking good.”

Kaycee continued, “I noticed it starting to pop up on this finger. And then also a little bit on this finger too.”

She went to a salon to get the acrylics taken off and showed viewers the process in her video.

After the acrylics were taken off, Kaycee said, “Yep, I sure do have some nail fungus.”
