Anyone ever wear just clear polish?

I recently realized I really like the look of clear nail polish on bare nails.

I like to do little home manicures in front of the tv at night sometimes, but I don’t usually paint my finger nails (my nail polishes are used on my toes) because I have a hard time growing my nails longer than my fingertips and I feel tacky wearing nail polish on my natural nails amongst all the pretty girlies with their lovely long acrylic/etc nails. I can’t afford to get my nails done very often sadly.

My solution has been to make my natural hands look as awesome and healthy as I can. I realized clear polish with a clear top coat looks really nice and natural on exfoliated, moisturized, manicured hands. At least I thought so.

But my coworker poked fun at me and said no one wears clear polish and it’s kinda weird 😅 am I alone in this?

Any other tips to get a nice healthy natural look? Or to grow fine brittle nails stronger and longer? ❤️
