(Australia-NewsWire.Com, April 25, 2016 ) Sydney, Australia -- Over the years, gel nails have gained popularity mainly because of the durability it provides its users compared to regular acrylic nail polish. Gel nail polish are virtually harder to remove than acrylic polish and have little to no chances of breaking. While aesthetics play a vital role in its popularity, some nail polish manufacturers also claim that gel nail polish are healthier.
This was confirmed by Dr. Jasmine Chan, a Sydney-based dermatologist and consultant for beauty company, Hydracol USA. According to Chan, gel nail polish tend to have lesser health risks due to the fact that it does not chip away as easily as acrylic polish. "Gel nails need UV or Led light machines to apply and to remove," Dr. Chan said.
"Unlike acrylic polish, gel nail polish tend to stay on longer and doesn't get chipped away. The dangers of acrylic polish lie mostly on the chance that it might be ingested. Acrylic polish is toxic, so you run the risk of being poisoned," the doctor said.
However, the dermatologist warned that not all gel nail polish solutions are necessarily safe because some are formulated with health-threatening substances. "My advice is to read the fine print. If it contains harmful substances like formalin, stay away from it. Chemicals like this should never be touched or used in cosmetics," she said. "Use products that have less chemical substances like Hydracol's Polish to Gel product."
Hydracol's Polish To Gel is not a gel nail polish but a solution that turns acrylic nail polish to hard lacquer gel. Made with Vitamin C extract, it makes nails stronger and reduces the risks of breakage. When used, nail polish can stay on for at least 14 days, making it unnecessary to have extra mani-pedi treatments at nail salons.
