Often we get asked by mother of teenagers whether nail polish is bad for nails. Nail polish has got a lot of chemicals which are going to adhere on the top layer of the nail giving the appearance of glossy or a well maintained nail, the problem with the treatment is more when the chemical concentration increases especially when newer techniques of nail polish are being made like the gel nails. These are little bit more hard to remove from them all after being applied. So you need longer soaks in acetone, which can make the nail layers little more brittle and weak, which is why w e advise not to use nail polishes more often and avoid using especially gel based treatment which can increase UV radiation to the nail and increase amount of damage to the superficial layers of the nail which can cause longitudinal splitting of the nail which can cause the nail to become dry and brittle. The other problem also can be use of dark or a deep coloured nail polishes which can color the top layers of the nail making the nail looking yellow. So we advise you to use lighter colour nail polishes and change once a week and give a break of about a week to 10 days so that the nails can breathe before you apply the next coat of nail polish.
