Is nail polish all the time unhealthy for my nails?

is it better to have bare nails with no nail polish once in a while? or is it okay to always have nail polish on?





for example, once one color starts fading away, i remove it and put a new color on the same day

Is nail polish all the time unhealthy for my nails?
You should give your nails a break from polish after each time you apply it. When nail polish dries on your nail, it actually dries out the fibres of your nail, and the layer of polish prevents moisture from penetrating back into the nail. This can make your nails more brittle and prone to breaking - you would have noticed if this was happening to you. However, you could also have very strong nails, and if you don't notice a problem, it may be fine for you to keep polish on all the time. Another thing you may have noticed is that your nails could be yellowing - this is from the dry nail absorbing some of the pigment of the polish, which is more noticeable if you use darker colors. You can do what's best for yourself, but most people need to take at least a day break between polishing.

Reply:Yes. All the time is bad.
Reply:yes it will turn them yellow or dingy, nails need to breathe alittle every now and then,but it doesnt mean you will have to go along period of time without polish, just a few days at a time,if nails do turn dingy use a nail whitener
Reply:you should go for at the very least 24 hours with none on and let your nails be natural. then do your filing and buffing, put a nice thick cat of hand cream on and some cuticle oil.
Reply:yes very would should go a few days without it every so often maybe each month
Reply:Give your nails a break, take off the coloured polish, and put a clear nail polish which helps rebuild and strengthen the nail. Try Sally Hansen products I find them quite good. Colouring the nail all the time will eventually stain them, in the same way smoking and red wine stains teeth.
Reply:Nail polish helps your nails grow, I do what you do! lol
Reply:Yes it is, and if you put them on for a long time, they might even turn yellow, so put some clear polish on it might help
