Lovers of gel polish: is it worth giving your nails a 'rest'

There is an opinion among girls that nails need a break or rest between coatings with gel polish so that the nails "breathe". Is this really so - understood My manicure.
In short, no, your nails don't need a break from gel polish. And that's why.
The nails are unable to breathe, as they are a keratinized part of the skin. Their nutrition, growth and formation takes place in the matrix - the area under the cuticle, which is recommended to be enriched with nutrients by rubbing in cuticle oil after the manicure procedure.
Therefore, the nails do not need rest from varnish, gel polish, or any other artificial coating, provided that the coating and its removal are carried out correctly, in compliance with the technology and without harming the nail plate.

It is another matter if, after removing the gel polish, the nails turned into "rags", became thin and brittle, then it is recommended to perform a complex of restorative measures, for example, strengthening with the IBX system.
It is worth considering that a natural nail plate completely grows back for about six months (for someone it is longer, for someone it is faster), so if you take a break for recovery, then it is not one week or a month.
Well, if you are still in doubt, then know that gel polish protects nails from external influences and can even make them stronger. With such a durable coating, you can easily grow long nails for yourself, even if this has always caused problems for you.
If the nails, after removing the gel polish, look weaker and thinner, then it is not the gel polish, but the wrong removal technique, when the coating is simply peeled off by nails or even teeth!
