š¤ Are They Really Safe, or Just a Trend?
If youāve ever experienced weak, painful, or damaged nails after salon treatments, you're not alone. Many women in the UAE are turning away from harsh acrylics and gelsāand for good reason.
At Nailaddict, we hear from women every day who are searching for something that looks salon-perfect but actually protects their natural nails.
So letās answer the question once and for all:
> Are press-on nails safe?
Ā
šØ What Makes Acrylics and Gels Unsafe?
While acrylics and gels can look gorgeous, they come with real risksāespecially when applied by underqualified technicians (unfortunately common across salons in the UAE).
š„ Common Dangers of Traditional Nail Systems:
1. Over-Filing the Nail Bed
This causes the dreaded āring of fireā ā deep indentations in your natural nail that take months to heal. It leaves nails weak, thin, and painful.
2. HEMA Allergies
HEMA (hydroxyethyl methacrylate) is a common chemical in gels. Many women develop allergies over timeāitching, blistering, rashes, and even permanent damage. Once allergic, each exposure gets worse.
3. UV Light Exposure
Frequent UV curing accelerates skin aging and increases long-term damage.
4. Cross-Infection Risks
Shared tools in salonsāif not properly sterilizedācan cause fungal and bacterial infections.
5. Aggressive Removal Methods
Acrylics and gels require drilling, soaking, and scrapingāleading to peeling, pain, and long-term trauma to your nail plate.
ā Are Press-On Nails Safe Compared to Acrylics?
Yesābut only if youāre using high-quality, well-designed press-ons.
At Nailaddict, weāve designed our nails to eliminate the common risks associated with salon treatments.
