Are Gel Manicures Bad for You? 💅🤔
It depends! The key factors are the product used, how long it stays on, and proper application/removal.

🔹 Soft gels soak off with acetone—safe in moderation but can expose you to chemicals.
🔹 Hard gels require filing, which can weaken nails and may contain unregulated toxins.
🔹 UV light exposure can contribute to skin aging and cancer risks.
🔹 Peeling off gel causes the most damage—always remove it properly!
