Shellac is designed to cure with micro tunnels within it to facilitate easier removal. So if there are micro tunnels bacteria will be there too. No amount of hand washing gets it out
Actually, if you read any study on this, you will see that artificial nails harbor more bacteria and fungi. The reason? Artificial nails, no matter how well they are applied, have a space between the acrylic and the real nail it's stuck to. This space which might be impossible to see with the naked eye, is all the space it takes for bacteria to enter and for fungi to flourish.
It has nothing to do with "on and under" and it has nothing to do with long/sharp/skin tears. The bacteria grows IN the acrylic. So the acrylic shellac long lasting nail "polish" has the same danger. You can't wash the bacteria off or clean it off by keeping "on and under" clean because it is growing IN the acrylic.
