Mold is a fungus. When it grows it produces hallmark green pigments called pyocyanin and pyoverdin. Ridges in nails after acrylics are the result of over drilling on the nails while the nail technician tries to clean them with the sharp end of a nail drill bit at high speed and if not used properly this nail drill bit that is usually made out of very hard steel or ceramic will easily cut into the relatively soft natural nails and leave these impressions.
