Do my nails need a rest? There's an opinion amongst girls that nails need a break or a rest between coats of gel nail polish so that they can "breathe". Let's break it all down 😊 Here we go ❤️❤️ In short, no, a break from gel polish is not necessary for your nails. And here's why: 👉🏻 Nails cannot breathe as they are a keratinized part of the skin. 👉🏻 The nail cells are not alive. 👉🏻 The living part of the nail is under the cuticle and is called "MATRIX" 👉🏻 Nail nourishment, growth and formation occurs in the area under the cuticle( which is recommended to enrich with nutrients, by rubbing cuticle oil, after performing manicure. 👉🏻 Therefore, neither nail polish nor gel polish needs a rest. Provided that the coating and its removal is done with the right technique!
