<\/span><\/font>Coating with gel polish in the modern world is one of the easiest and most effective ways to achieve a well-groomed and attractive hand appearance.<\/span> <\/span>such a manicure retains its integrity and quality for a long time, does not lose its attractiveness for several weeks, and can be performed in different techniques and designs.<\/span> But many girls are wondering – is<\/span> <\/span>it necessary to give your nails a rest from gel polish <\/span>?<\/span> Indeed, in between wearing the cover, the marigolds no longer look as well-groomed and neat as we would like.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Why do you need a break from gel polish?<\/span> According to the adherents of this approach, this period allows the nails to recover from damage to their coating.<\/span> But it is worthwhile to understand that a correctly done manicure and also its correct removal do not cause any harm to the nail plates.<\/span> In fact, the nail grows back completely no earlier than six months later.<\/span> So a break of a month (as the creators of the myths about the need for “rest” recommend) will definitely not solve the problem.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

DO NAILS REALLY NEED A REST FROM GEL POLISH<\/span><\/h2>\n

The nail plates themselves do not “breathe”, because it is densely keratinized skin, which performs an exclusively protective function.<\/span> The growth of nails occurs in the area that is not covered with varnish – in the area under the cuticle.<\/span> To form the nail and improve its quality, it is necessary to exert influence on this part – to provide nutrition to the cuticle area, to strengthen the growth area.<\/span> For this, nutrients, oils, vitamin complexes are applied and rubbed onto the skin.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

That is why a <\/span>break from <\/span>wearing <\/span>gel polish is <\/span>not needed for nails, because a plate covered with varnish does not in any way affect the characteristics of nail growth.<\/span><\/p>\n

WHY NAIL DAMAGE CAN OCCUR WHEN WEARING GEL POLISH<\/span><\/h2>\n

The answer to the question <\/span>whether the nails should rest on the<\/span> gel polish<\/span> <\/span>, <\/span>will be positive only if the procedure removal of the coating was carried out properly.<\/span> In this case, the marigolds can really become like a rag – thinned, brittle, dull.<\/span> Why is this happening?<\/span> Unwillingness to turn to a competent master to remove the coating leads to home experiments – scraping the varnish with steel<\/span> tools for nails<\/span> <\/span>, nails, teeth, tearing off layers of varnish with the application of force. Nails do not withstand such violence, their surface is disturbed, the layers of the nail plate peel off along with the varnish.<\/span> As a result, the girl gets thin and weak nails that break, exfoliate, and bruises can be seen under them.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Why does the destruction of the nail plates occur?<\/span> When applying gel polish, the master achieves maximum adhesion of the coating to the nail itself.<\/span> Such adhesion lasts a long time and if you want to remove the gel polish, the wrong effect on the nail plate is inevitable. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But even in this case, the answer to the question of <\/span>whether it is necessary to rest from the gel polish <\/span>is controversial, because the gel coating helps to strengthen the nail plates and protects them just from brittleness and destruction.<\/span><\/p>\n

How to remove gel polish correctly so as not to take a break from wearing a manicure<\/span><\/h3>\n

You can avoid the problems of nail damage and the need to restore them if you seek help in removing gel polish from specialists who use the correct technologies for removing the old coating.<\/span> In most cases, the varnish is cut off with a cutter or hard files, without touching the nail plate itself.<\/span> This method is fast and efficient.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Less commonly, special solvents are used to remove the coating, complete with orange sticks.<\/span> This procedure will take a longer time.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

You should not remove gel polish by tearing off its layers from the nail, using metal tools.<\/span> A visit to a manicure master is the price of the health of your nails and their well-groomed appearance.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Should you take a break from wearing gel polish <\/span>?<\/span> There is no need for this, because if all the rules and techniques are followed, modern manicure does not in any way affect the quality of the nail plates and their growth.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
