But fill after fill can bring about the question: is it time for a nail detox? While it\u2019s true that polished nails can still be&nbsp;healthy nails, overuse of paint, gel, and acrylics can take its toll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So even though acrylics look amazing, it\u2019s essential to know when your <strong>natural nails need a little time to reset and recover.<\/strong> Here we answer how often you should take a break from acrylic nails, and how you can help restore your brittle, damaged nails with help from an expert-approved&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.isdin.com\/us\/p\/si-nails\/3451\">nail strengthener<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left\" id=\"h-do-i-really-need-to-let-my-nails-breathe\">Do I really need to let my nails breathe?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Nails don\u2019t take in oxygen from the air,<\/strong> so you don\u2019t need to give up polish to keep them healthy. But they do need proper care and could need a <em>breather<\/em> at times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a few tips for checking in on your nail health:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Look at your natural nail color:<\/strong> A tell-tale sign that it\u2019s time for a break from acrylics is when your natural nail is no longer bright pink and smooth. Other signs include peeling, splitting, or feeling sore or sensitive to touch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pay attention after removal:<\/strong> Nails can become discolored due to pigments in polishes. Or you might notice white patches appearing on your nail after incorrect polish removal. If you notice <strong>yellowing and chipping after removing a set<\/strong>, it might be time for a pause.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Stay ahead of damage:<\/strong> Taking regular breaks\u2014even just once every few months\u2014allows you to assess the health of your natural nails and <strong>address any signs of damage early.<\/strong> While there\u2019s not a defined time frame that works for everyone, you should make sure your nails are properly cared for.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ask the expert: Talk to your manicurist and get their professional opinion too<\/strong>\u2014then you can decide whether your nails need a hiatus every few weeks or months, or if you&#8217;re on the right track.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"527\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.isdin.com\/en-US\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2024_05_AcrylicNails_IMG03-1024x527.png\" alt=\"Do I really need to let my nails breathe?\" class=\"wp-image-9807 lazyload\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.isdin.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2024_05_AcrylicNails_IMG03-1024x527.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.isdin.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2024_05_AcrylicNails_IMG03-300x155.png 300w, https:\/\/www.isdin.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2024_05_AcrylicNails_IMG03-150x77.png 150w, https:\/\/www.isdin.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2024_05_AcrylicNails_IMG03-768x396.png 768w, https:\/\/www.isdin.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2024_05_AcrylicNails_IMG03-585x300.png 585w, https:\/\/www.isdin.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2024_05_AcrylicNails_IMG03-450x232.png 450w, https:\/\/www.isdin.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2024_05_AcrylicNails_IMG03-20x11.png 20w, https:\/\/www.isdin.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2024_05_AcrylicNails_IMG03-225x116.png 225w, https:\/\/www.isdin.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2024_05_AcrylicNails_IMG03-900x464.png 900w, https:\/\/www.isdin.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2024_05_AcrylicNails_IMG03-186x96.png 186w, https:\/\/www.isdin.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2024_05_AcrylicNails_IMG03.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wait\u2026 are acrylic nails bad for you?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We won\u2019t go that far, but they can definitely be tough on your nails and the skin on your hands. Over-manicuring, poor-quality manicures, and applying polish to already damaged nails can make them more brittle. Plus, these factors can cause <strong>thinning of the nail plate<\/strong>: the hard part of the nail made up of keratin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, gel manicures can cause nail dehydration and thinning if used in excess and especially if not correctly applied with a gel base coat. Acrylic nails can also damage the nails in the longer term, as the surface of your natural nails is filed down for application, weakening the natural nail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.health.harvard.edu\/blog\/a-look-at-the-effects-of-nail-polish-on-nail-health-and-safety-2019112118231\">the chemicals used<\/a> in acrylic or other polish applications have the potential to harm the nail over time\u2014especially without proper care in between sets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What about gel nails?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to gel nails, one thing to consider is the curing process. Most gel nails need ultraviolet (UV) light to harden. And gel nail polish plus UV radiation can actually harm the keratins in nails,&nbsp;<strong>potentially making them more fragile.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond your nails, are there risks to your skin when using UV-curing lamps?\u00a0The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.aad.org\/public\/everyday-care\/nail-care-secrets\/basics\/pedicures\/reduce-artificial-nail-damage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">American Association of Dermatology<\/a>\u00a0recommends going to a nail salon that\u00a0<strong>uses an LED curing light instead of a UV light.<\/strong>\u00a0While LED lamps still emit UV radiation, it\u2019s less than with a UV curing light. An LED light also cures more quickly, reducing your hands\u2019 exposure to UV rays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although it\u2019s always a good idea to wear <a href=\"https:\/\/www.isdin.com\/en-US\/sun-care\/mineral-sunscreens\/\">broad spectrum sunscreen<\/a> daily\u2014even on your hands! If you get gel manicures often, apply sunscreen to your hands about 20 minutes before your appointment to help protect your skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"527\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.isdin.com\/en-US\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2024_05_AcrylicNails_IMG01-1024x527.png\" alt=\"Are gel or acrylic nails bad for you?\" class=\"wp-image-9808 lazyload\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.isdin.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2024_05_AcrylicNails_IMG01-1024x527.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.isdin.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2024_05_AcrylicNails_IMG01-300x155.png 300w, https:\/\/www.isdin.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2024_05_AcrylicNails_IMG01-150x77.png 150w, https:\/\/www.isdin.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2024_05_AcrylicNails_IMG01-768x396.png 768w, https:\/\/www.isdin.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2024_05_AcrylicNails_IMG01-585x300.png 585w, https:\/\/www.isdin.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2024_05_AcrylicNails_IMG01-450x232.png 450w, https:\/\/www.isdin.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2024_05_AcrylicNails_IMG01-20x11.png 20w, https:\/\/www.isdin.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2024_05_AcrylicNails_IMG01-225x116.png 225w, https:\/\/www.isdin.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2024_05_AcrylicNails_IMG01-900x464.png 900w, https:\/\/www.isdin.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2024_05_AcrylicNails_IMG01-186x96.png 186w, https:\/\/www.isdin.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2024_05_AcrylicNails_IMG01.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left\" id=\"h-can-i-remove-fake-nails-myself-nbsp\">Can I remove fake nails myself?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you start your break, you\u2019ll of course have to remove your gels or acrylics.\u00a0While it\u2019s usually <strong>best to leave this to the professionals<\/strong>\u2014and all the better if you can\u2014there may be moments when you can\u2019t make it to the salon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your fake nails start to fall off or chip, it\u2019s important to remember not to pick at them, and to try to remove them in a way that causes less\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.isdin.com\/en-US\/blog\/beauty\/how-to-repair-damaged-and-split-nails\/\">damage to your natural nails<\/a>. Picking or peeling can pull layers off your natural nail, making recovery take even longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In case you need to remove your fake nails or gel polish at home,&nbsp;<strong>you\u2019ll need nail polish remover, cotton wool, nail scissors, a nail file, and tin foil.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s a step-by-step guide to taking acrylics off yourself:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 1<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Clip your nails (acrylic, acrylic and real, or gel-covered) down using the nail scissors. Of course, you may want to keep your nails long, but the shorter they are, the easier it will be to remove your fake nails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 2<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Take your nail file and gently smooth the top of your nails, trying to make the gel or acrylic as thin as possible.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 3<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While you could simply soak your nails in polish remover, this will expose more of your skin to the remover. First, soak cotton wool pads or balls in polish remover. Then wrap your nails in individual squares of pre-cut tin foil, securing the cotton ball on top of the nail. One tip? Settle in to watch your favorite show, as you need to keep the foil on your nails for 30-40 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 4<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lift up one of your foils to check on your nails, and if the acrylics have soaked off. If needed, re-soak and re-wrap stubborn spots instead of scraping. Once they have all been removed, buff your nails to remove any smaller pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 5<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Wash your hands and nails and gently pat them dry.\u00a0Then, hydrate, hydrate, hydrate!
