Recovery doesn’t happen overnight, but with consistency, your natural nails will regain their strength.
For many beauty lovers, gel manicures have become less of an occasional indulgence and more of a regular part of their self-care routine.
The appeal is easy to understand. Gel polish delivers a glossy, salon-fresh finish that can last for weeks without chipping, smudging or losing its shine.
But as the popularity of gel nails continues to grow, so do questions about what repeated applications may be doing beneath that flawless surface.
While the polished finish can make nails look healthy and strong, experts say long-term use, especially without proper maintenance or recovery time, can leave natural nails weakened, dehydrated and more prone to breakage.
