Couldn't resist peeling off the gel polish on this nail and now...
The nail is left rough, but more importantly, THIN because layers of the nail are removed when we peel off the polish.
That damaged part will eventually grow out and the nail will be thicker and stronger like it was before but in the mean time, it's more prone to breaking and if thin enough, can cause sensitivity on the nail bed (living tissue underneath).
If you're already at this point: be gentle, keep nails short and apply moisturiser and cuticle oil several times a day.
Book an appointment to have gel removed before signs of lifting and the temptation to pick and peel π
