Is it bad to wear gel nail polish all the time?
No, wearing gel polish all the time isn’t bad for your nails if you’re following all the correct routines for prep, application and removal. In fact, wearing gel polish can help to protect your natural nails from everyday wear, allowing them to grow underneath the polish.
