Many women pursue professional manicures with “gel nail polish” which provides a heartier application that won’t smudge as easily for busier lifestyles. It seemed like a GREAT product so I went for it a few years back. I went in to a salon, selected a gel polish, and had a manicure. Despite a limited number of colors, I enjoyed the final product on my nails – and enjoyed no smudges and application stayed on my nails the whole 3 weeks. What I didn’t realize is that it would be a process to remove it in another 3-4 weeks. I had to go back to the salon, and have them remove it with an acetone remover. It seemed to me that it was a harsh product that removed the gel polish. Honestly my nails have NEVER been the same since that experiment.
Gel polish, or the remover, or the instruments to remove it have triggered my nail weakness, brittleness, and thinning. Studies show that I’m not alone. Women who have used gel polish on their nails may have damaged their nail plate and the thickness of their nail plate. If you or someone you know experimented with gel polish and your nails have never been the same since, reach out to a health coach and learn what it takes to recover your nails nutritionally.
