Let me emphasize the importance of following the recommendations for wearing gel polish, even if it seems inconvenient. Dermatovenerologist Svetlana Vorozhbit warns that the maximum period for using gel polish is three weeks. This is explained by the fact that as the nail plate grows and its center of gravity shifts to the free edge, the gel polish exerts pressure, which makes the nail plate more vulnerable to breakage.

Long-term use of the coating can also promote peeling, which can lead to the intrusion of moisture and dust, and also become a provoking factor for the development of fungal infections. In this regard, it is recommended to strictly adhere to the timing of updating gel polish every three weeks, following the advice of a manicurist. This will help maintain healthy nails and prevent negative consequences from long-term use of gel polish.
