Is nail polish good or bad for your nails?

I love to paint my nails! But im worrying if it damages my nails! I also really want my nails to get stronger and longer and i think have nail polish on my nails will help but i dont want to risk anything. Does anyone know the answer if its good or bad? Also, does anyone know any nails polishes that are really great and good for the nails?

Is nail polish good or bad for your nails?
It is both good and bad. Nail polish, applied correctly with a base coat, 2-3 layers of polish and topcoat, offers a hard protective coating to nails so that breakage is lessened. However, constantly polished nails become weaker with time. The nails themselves don't have to be as strong since they are being protected by layers of polish. I like to let my nails breathe for a few days after 2 or 3 polishings. (Is that a word?) :) It keeps them from getting too dependent on the extra protection and allows time for conditioning between applications. I opt for a more expensive base/top coat with less emphasis on the color coat.

Reply:Well even though they may be good for your nails there not good for your health. The same thing found in nail polish (Acetone) is the same chemicals found in ciggarettes.
Reply:ALWAYS use acetone-free remover. Keep your nails polished at all times because it keeps them from getting damaged. Start with a moisturizing base coat, like Nailtek (great stuff), then polish and keep topcoating every other day.
Reply:i think it is good for them. well scratch that.. they might be.. idk.. lol but i do know that acrilic nails are bad.. i think that nail polish should be ok tho..
