\n

Does getting a gel manicure damage your nails?<\/h3>\n

A gel manicure will not damage your nails if you care for them properly and remove the polish in the right way. Visiting a nail technician, timing your treatments sensibly and avoiding picking at the polish helps keep your nails in tip-top condition.<\/div>\n

\n

Should you worry about UV exposure during a gel manicure?<\/h3>\n

You do not need to worry about UV exposure during a gel manicure because the dose is very brief. Many salons now use LED curing instead, which gives the same drying effect without the negative side effects. Applying sunscreen to your hands before your appointment adds extra protection.<\/div>\n

\n

Do your nails need to ‘breathe’ between gel manicures?<\/h3>\n

Your nails do not need to “breathe” between gel manicures because nails are not alive. The living parts are your cuticles and nail beds, so keeping them well-nourished is more important than worrying about air exposure. Regularly applying cuticle oil helps maintain their condition.<\/div>\n

\n

What happens if you pick off your gel polish at home?<\/h3>\n

Picking off your gel polish can seriously damage your nails, making them thin, weak and brittle. Peeling reaches the nail plate beneath and can leave white marks. Professional removal at the salon takes under twenty minutes and protects your nail health.<\/div>\n

\n

How can you keep your nails healthy with regular gel manicures?<\/h3>\n

Keep your nails healthy by applying cuticle oil outside of salon visits and never peeling off the polish. Space out treatments\u2014weekly manicures aren’t necessary\u2014and always use a professional for application and removal. These steps will help your nails stay strong and look their best.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

We’re all worried about UV exposure – given its rep – so sticking our hand beneath a UV lamp to ‘cure’ the polish inspires tentative feelings all round. Well, good news. The UV ‘dose’ you’ll experience during a gel mani is seriously brief, plus salon technology has come a long way, with many brands converting to LED curing (same drying effect, without the scary side effects). Slathering a little sunscreen on your hands pre-appointment for skin protection is a good idea – peace of mind and healthier hands. \u200b<\/p>\n","video_content":"","block_picture":33479},{"block_title":"Take a break (not a breather)","block_content":"

Shocker, nails aren’t gasping for air when your gel polish is removed. Why? Because they aren’t alive. Cuticles and nail beds are<\/em> formed of living tissue, however, so regular manicure trips will help to keep them well-nourished. Worry less about their ‘breathing’ and more about maintaining good condition – continue to apply cuticle oil outside of salon trips and never. ever. pick at the polish.<\/p>\n","video_content":"","block_picture":33480},{"block_title":"We said never","block_content":"

Yes it feels great, yes there truly is no greater satisfaction (aside from the 'takeaway is here' doorbell), but picking off your gel polish is an all round no-no. We’re all guilty of it, but peeling will seriously damage nails, reaching the 'plate' beneath and leaving your tips thin, weak and brittle. Removal at the salon <\/a>takes under twenty minutes, and you won’t be left with those dodgy white marks on your nails (or, you know, the shame of wrongdoing). \u200b<\/p>\n","video_content":"","block_picture":33481},{"block_title":"So what's the verdict?","block_content":"

Does a gel manicure deserve it's ‘dangerous’ rep? Well, it’s a tricky one. With the correct care and removal of the polish, your nails will maintain their tip-top condition. Head to a nail technician (instead of DIY), time your treatments (weekly manis aren’t required), and remember: cuticle oil is friend, peeling is foe. \u200b<\/p>\n\n
