A common myth that surrounds wearing gel on the nails is that it is believed to weaken the nail bed. The truth is that they don’t weaken or harm your nail bed, so long as you don’t forcefully try to remove it, especially where you use hard gel to create extensions. For safety purposes, it is advisable to engage the help of a nail technician in removing the nails or taking off the coating. Pay attention to the process and complain where it seems painful or uncomfortable for you
