saloni Nail art (a creative way of decorating artificial nails) is one of the latest and growing fashion trends in today’s world. Everyone dream to have beautiful, strong, healthy, and shiny nails. But problem is that what should do for it and what should not do? what is right and good for this and what is not? Nail art also has its myths like another cosmetic branch. Many people have age-old information and they have believed always, but lots of information about it is wrong. There is plenty of misinformation about nail art. Many people believe that white spot indicates calcium deficiency, nails need to breathe, etc. But actually, there is nothing like that happening. There are some common myths/stereotypes we want to tell you about that people believe.
1. Nails need to breathe
Many people believe they need a break after nail art and should not use any nail paint after the art or shouldn’t change frequently. You don’t need to. Nails don’t need to breathe or break. They receive all nutrients, blood supply, oxygen, and vitamins they need from the bloodstream and not from the air. Nails are already made with dead skin that doesn’t need oxygen and does not get anything from the air. So “nails need breath” belief is baseless unfounded and not logical. So applying nail paint continually bases is harmless if your nails are generally healthy.
2. Soaking can Hydrate them
No, soaking may not hydrate them. It will soften your nails that you do not want to do, so this is best to keep them waterless before nail art. H2O maybe act as the breeding ground for bacteria and It can also cause fungal infections. So you can skip the pre-polish soak to reduce the risk of infections.
3. White dots signify Calcium Deficiency
People believe white spots on nails indicating to calcium deficiency, in reality, it is not true. White spots on our nails are leukonychia. They are the result of trauma when the nail bed is damaged, the nail has been destroyed and the nail plate is damaged from everyday bumps and bangs. These can be caused by bad gel and acrylic manicures as well. Scientifically white spots on nails are a common situation. The main reason for this may be an earlier injury to the matrix of your nail or allergic substances like nail hardeners, nail polish, or sometimes even a mild infection.
4. Extension gels are Damaging
Extension gels are harmless if apply and remove properly. You just need to make sure to find a trusted and professional who is an expert in it and has good reviews. The best thing about it is that: it does not require any harsh chemicals and no damage to your natural nails. Extension gels have no fumes, strong odors, and heavy filing as well. In fact extension gel act as a protective sheet on your natural nails.
5. Nail products can make it healthy
Nail products cannot make your nails healthy it becomes healthy with the food nutrition you intake in your daily life, not the artificial nail products. Strong and healthy nails are just not for good looks but also for performing our daily life’s tasks. They do not require any gel or cream for their health, but actually, they receive all their required nutrients from the bloodstream. Also, nails are already made with dead cells, so nail painting will not affect its growth.
So these common myths are cleared, now you can get your desired nail art without any worry about nail health.
