Is nail polish bad for your nails?

Answer by  bubbyboy (9929)

Nail polish can be bad if you are allergic to a chemical in the polish. Nail polish is supposed to be good for fingernails by giving added strength to nails that crack or peel. It is a good practice to every once in awhile leave your nails unpolished to "air."

Nail polish isn't necessarily the best thing for your nails, but it isn't a terrible thing if you do it once in a while. You shouldn't leave it on too long, or else it can cause problems. But you don't want to take it off too quickly either. Nail polish remover can dry out your nails.
