Are glue-on nails bad for you?

Answer by  hightide (131)

Yes, glue-on nails cause problems. The chemical the glue is made of is toxic. Due to not being in contact with air, nails become thin and brittle. Moreover, when I take off those glue-on nails, part of my natural nail layer coatings get yanked out. After using glue-on nails for some time, the color of my nails turned slightly paler.

I do not believe glue on nails are bad for you. It has more to do with the actual tools being used. If the tools are not sanitized they can cause infections. It has nothing to do with the actual nails and/or nail glue being used. I think that is a myth.
