However, it’s important to note that a break from gel really is down to you and your nails and if the correct application, aftercare and removal is being done and your nails still look and feel strong, Fenwick says it needn’t be a regular thing. “With that being said if anyone starts to experience their nails breaking underneath the gel, their gel not lasting well on their nails, or any sensitivity, then they should have a break, usually around eight weeks.”
Whether you’re nodding your head at the above, or you’ve never been a fan of gels, the answer lies in long-lasting polishes that also contain nail-nurturing ingredients to keep them looking strong and healthy all year round.
