cause of nail weakness
However, frequent manicures can weaken the nails. A study conducted by the 'University of California' has revealed that it can also increase the risk of cancer. The outer layer of nails, called keratin, becomes thinner with frequent removal and application of new layers, especially for people who get manicures twice per month.

During gel manicure, each layer is hardened with ultraviolet light, due to which the nail polish dries quickly and gives a matte finish. But, gel nail polish contains acetone, which can make the nails dry and lifeless from inside. Apart from this, the risk of fungal infection also increases. In a simple manicure, only nail paint is applied after cleaning the nails, in which there is less use of UV light.
