Are press-on nails safe?

Press-on nails are generally considered safe for most people when used correctly. Here are some key points to consider:

1. Application:

   • Ensure your natural nails are clean and dry before application to prevent trapping moisture, which can lead to fungal infections.
   • Use nail glue sparingly to avoid excess glue coming into contact with your skin.

2. Quality:

   • Choose high-quality press-on nails and glue, as cheaper products may contain harmful chemicals or cause allergic reactions.

3. Duration:

   • Avoid wearing press-on nails for extended periods without giving your natural nails a break. Continuous wear can weaken your natural nails.

4. Removal:

   • Follow the recommended removal process to avoid damaging your natural nails. Typically, soaking in warm soapy water or a nail glue remover can help.

5. Skin Sensitivity:

   • If you have sensitive skin or a history of nail or skin conditions, consult with a dermatologist before using press-on nails.

By following these guidelines, you can minimize the risks associated with press-on nails and enjoy them safely.
