8 myths about nail care that women willingly believe

Many, many years ago, a grandmother said to her granddaughter «Don't sit at the edge of the table, you won't get married». A few years later, the granddaughter married the long-awaited prince. Except that the other side of the coin, no one knows and everyone willingly believes in the omen, which is a myth. But the other side of the story is that no one knows about the omen, which is a myth. Since our destination is the nail industry, let's talk about nails. Most girls know how to take care of their nails, but that's not even knowing that much knowledge is a myth. To get rid of the misconceptions, we have prepared this article. Forewarned is forearmed!



MYTH N1: YOU CAN'T DO A NAIL BATH BEFORE GETTING A MANICURE

There is a belief that the temperature will cause the plate to expand and then begin to shrink, taking its natural shape and causing cracks in the lacquer coating.
The truth is: A good manicure programme includes a manicure bath. The water should be warm and comfortable for the hands and the treatment should not take more than 5 minutes. It is advisable to use special manicure tablets. Half a tablet is dissolved in water and you get a soothing and disinfecting solution. If you follow these tips, no premature chipping and cracking of the varnish will occur.



MYTH N2: CALCIUM NAIL POLISHES STRENGTHEN NAILS

It is known that the plate itself is a dead tissue, so the lacquers with calcium strengthen the nails exactly as much as the most ordinary lacquers do, forming a kind of shield from mechanical damage. Calcium varnishes will not do the trick.
The truth is: You need a special product with a penetrating effect, e.g. a moisturising serum or a repairing cream for damaged nails.



MYTH N3: WHITE SPOTS ON THE NAILS INDICATE CALCIUM DEFICIENCY

The truth is: The appearance of white spots can be caused by minor damage to the nail plate and matrix. These white spots gradually disappear when the nails grow back.



MYTH N4: THE CUTICLE MUST BE REMOVED IN ORDER TO GROW YOUR NAILS BETTER

The mechanical removal of the cuticle can traumatise and damage the skin as well as the growth zone of the nail. In addition, there is the possibility of infection, which can lead to inflammation.
The truth is: The safest and most promising treatment is the non-cut manicure. The skin is not injured during the treatment, and the cuticle is given a better and tidier contour.



MYTH N5: NAIL POLISH NEEDS TO BE KEPT IN THE REFRIGERATOR TO LAST LONGER

The truth is: to keep nail polish in the refrigerator for longer, the packaging must be airtight. If the lacquer is dried on the neck, the cap does not fit tightly enough, air can get into the bottle and the varnish thickens quickly. To avoid this, after each use, wipe the neck of the bottle with a cotton pad moistened with nail polish remover. Do not keep the bottle open for a long time.



MYTH N6: THE BEAUTY OF YOUR NAILS DOESN'T DEPEND ON YOUR DIET

The truth is: A good diet has a direct influence on the condition of your nails. Watch your diet and you'll have beautiful, neat hands.



MYTH N7: THE LED AND UV DRYING LIGHTS CAN CAUSE SKIN CANCER AND PIGMENTATION

The truth is: High-quality lamps cannot do your health any harm if used correctly. And if you compare the doses of UV radiation you receive, drying your nails is equivalent to spending about 15 seconds in the sun at the beach. But if you're still a little afraid of the lamps - use a cream with UVA + UVB protection 10-15 minutes before manicure.

MYTH N8: GEL EXTENSIONS ARE BAD FOR YOUR NAILS

The truth is: gel extensions can only be considered healthy if you follow three basic rules:
1. Only use quality materials.
2. Carefully observe the technique of application and removal of the coating from the nail plate.
3. Apply gel nail polish without going under the cuticle.
