Manicure Trouble

What could Gel Manicures be doing to your nails?

            Gel manicures can last two weeks without chipping, but did you know that they can damage nails. Dermatologists at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine have reported five cases of women who developed discoloration, peeling, brittleness, and breakage after the removal of a gel manicure. The damage could have been caused by chemicals in the actual nail polish or by the removal process, which may strip off layers of the nail. I advise you to reserve your gel manicure for a special occasion or avoid them altogether if you have weak nails.
