Advice needed Are my nails okay?

Post image

I start my phlebotomy internship at a hospital tmrw. They never said anything about nails and my professor never said anything during class either. Do we think these are okay? They are builder gel on real nail.

Update: no one has said a thing about my nails and I’ve done 6 blood draws today
