Do Nails Breathe?

Do Nails Actually Breathe?

Have you guys heard this question? Or does any of you here still think that nails can breathe?

Below is a statement which I read few months ago, which I forgot the source of. That is just what I remember, but the statement was pretty much like that.

You should actually take nail polish breaks during each week of application. Yellow stain on your nails happen because you don't let your nails breathe enough.

And I'm here to clarify that

NO

Nails don't breathe.

Your nails are made up of 100 layers of flattened, dead keratin cells. Yep, it's dead. Dead is dead.

Staining is just a result of repeated wear of nail polish, which is not bad at all, because it doesn't affect your health at all.

In fact, nail polish is actually good, because it traps the oil into your nail, which may be stripped off during contact with water.

I hope I helped some of you guys here which are still wondering about this topic. Hope that helped.

See ya until next nail posts!
