Gel Nail Polish Safety FAQs
Does gel polish damage your nails?
No, gel polish doesn’t damage your nails, as long as you’ve followed the correct prep, application and removal instructions. You can find all our recommended gel polish routines above, or head over to our How To pages.
Is gel nail polish bad for your toenails?
Just like fingernails, gel polish isn’t bad for your toenails if you have followed proper nail prep, gel polish application and removal. If ever in doubt, check our How To pages for our recommended routines.
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.
Contrary to common misconceptions, your nails don’t need to ‘breathe’ in between applications – there’s no reason why you can’t wear gel polish all the time.
