If you love beauty, are you like many of our customers who see their nails as stylish works of art? At Rainbow Nails, we truly believe that beautiful fingertips can add joy and confidence to your life. However, many clients wonder: “Does frequent nail art affect the health of my nails? Will I miss signs of a health issue if my nails are always decorated?”
Nails: Not Just for Beauty, but a Window to Your Health
In fact, nails are an extension of the skin, made of keratin, which helps protect your fingertips and prevents the invasion of bacteria and fungi—a vital defense for our bodies. In Chinese medicine, the shine and growth of your nails can reflect your overall health, such as your blood circulation and liver function.
Sometimes, you may notice vertical ridges on your nails. This usually comes with age and slower metabolism, and there’s generally no need for concern. However, if you see obvious discoloration, dents, or splitting, it’s wise to pay attention to your health and seek medical advice if necessary.
Nail Art and Health Can Go Hand in Hand
Modern nail art techniques are highly advanced, and many people are concerned that nail treatments might affect nail health or that UV lamps are risky. In reality, as long as you choose a professional nail artist and quality products, and schedule manicures at reasonable intervals (such as every 1-2 months), your nails will have time to “breathe.” You can absolutely enjoy both healthy nails and beautiful fingertips!
According to professional recommendations, occasional manicures (such as monthly or every six months), even with UV curing, have minimal impact on your health. You can relax and enjoy the pleasure that nail art brings!
