💅 Nail Care Myth-Busting
“No, your nails are NOT ‘breathing.’ Here’s what’s actually happening…”
Let’s clear this up once and for all 👇
Your natural nails don’t breathe — not with gel, dip, acrylic, or polish… not ever.
Why? Because nails are made of keratin, just like your hair. They get everything they need (oxygen, nutrients, hydration) from the blood supply underneath the nail, not from the air.
So if your nails feel:
✨ weak
✨ bendy
✨ peeling
✨ sensitive
…it’s not because they were “suffocating.”
It’s usually because of improper removal, over-filing, inconsistent cuticle oil, or certain lifestyle habits.
✔️ Here’s what actually keeps nails healthy:
• Gentle removal (no ripping or picking)
• Cuticle oil every single day
• Avoid over-filing the natural nail
• Keeping nails coated helps protect them while they grow
• Hydration + balanced diet support nail strength
• Seeing a trained nail tech who cares about your natural nail health (hi, that’s me 👋)
Healthy nails are possible with regular services — you just need proper prep, proper removal, and products that protect, not damage.
