Are acrylic nails and gel polish bad for your nails?
Acrylic nails and gel polish look very beautiful, we absolutely agree. But it is often said that gel polish and acrylic nails are bad for your nails. This is not entirely correct.
It is a fact that removing gel polish, for example, causes damage to the nail. Gel polish is often removed with strong acetone or by soaking it in water, which dries out your nails very much. You recognize dry nails immediately, they look dull and white.
Removing the other residues and polishing the nail with a brush is also not good for the nails. The brush grinds away the gel polish and a layer of the nail. This causes circles on the nails. When the nail polish is gone, you can clearly see the circles.
To prevent nails from being damaged by gel polish, it is also important that you do not try to pick the gel polish off your nails yourself. You can also take the top layer of your own nail and damage the nail. And that is of course not the intention.
Damaged nails after gel polish
When you remove your gel nails , your nails may immediately feel thinner. We can immediately reassure you that this is nothing to worry about.
Gel polish makes your nails feel heavier. Even though your nails have not necessarily become thinner, the gel can cause your nails to become weaker. It is therefore recommended not to keep gel polish on the nails too often and for too long.
Do you have painful nails after gel polish? It may be that you have used gel polish too often and your nails are now thin. If your nails hurt in heat or cold, it is a good idea to stop using gel polish immediately. Therefore, let your nails rest and recover until the top layer has grown back.
