Is gel nails really worth your health? Every day, it feels like there’s something new coming out about how bad they actually are. Yesterday it was UV lamps, today it’s methylene chloride. What’s next respiratory damage?

Look, we get it. Gel nails are supposed to be practical (even though you spend hours getting to the salon and sitting there... so are they really? But for the sake of this argument, let’s say they are).

Don’t you think there comes a point where you have to draw the line between your health and what you're willing to sacrifice for beauty?

Spending €100 on your nails? Sure, that’s your call.
Sitting in a salon for two hours every month? Fine, that’s a choice too.

But your health?
That’s where we draw the line.
And so should you.

Let’s walk you through what this methylene chloride is, and how it can affect your health.

 What is Methylene Chloride?

Methylene chloride (also known as dichloromethane) is a harsh chemical solvent used in paint removers, degreasers, and industrial cleaning products.

Recently, the FDA tested several popular gel polish removers and discovered dangerously high levels of this stuff up to 93% in some cases. Even worse? It wasn’t listed on the labels.

Why It’s a Big Deal

Methylene chloride exposure can cause:

• Headaches, dizziness, and nausea
• Breathing problems
• Liver and kidney damage
• Long-term risks like cancer

In other words: a glossy gel manicure is just not worth this.
