Is glue bad for your nails?

It depends on what kind of glue you're talking about. Here's a breakdown:

Glue that's specifically designed for nails:

* Nail glue: This is generally safe for your nails when used correctly. However, it can still cause damage if you:

* Apply it too often: Frequent use can weaken and thin your nails.

* Use too much: Excess glue can clog the nail bed and make your nails brittle.

* Don't remove it properly: Removing nail glue incorrectly can damage the nail plate.

* Acrylic glue: Used to apply acrylic nails, it's also generally safe when applied by a professional. However, improper application or removal can cause damage and irritation.

* Gel glue: This is used for gel nail extensions and is typically considered safe. However, it's important to get it done by a qualified professional.

Other types of glue:

* Super glue: This is NOT safe for your nails. It can cause severe damage, including burns, irritation, and even permanent damage to your nails.

* Craft glue: This is also NOT safe for your nails. It's not designed for use on skin or nails and can cause similar problems to super glue.

Overall:

* Use nail glue specifically designed for nails.

* Follow instructions carefully.

* Remove glue properly.

* Consult a professional for acrylic or gel nails.

* Avoid using super glue or craft glue on your nails.

If you experience any irritation or damage to your nails, discontinue use and seek professional advice.
