Mummies, Gelish or Normal Manicure? 💅🏻 21 weeks preggo
Ladies, can I check if it’s okay to do Gelish manicure during pregnancy, or is it better to just do normal nail polish? 💅🏻
Both should be fine during pregnancy, but normal manicure might be the safer bet if you're worried about the fumes. Gelish lasts longer so you don't have to go back as often, but the removal process uses stronger chemicals and the UV lamp exposure is something to think about, whereas normal polish is just paint and goes off naturally. I stuck with regular polish during my pregnancies just for peace of mind, but plenty of mums do Gelish without issues, especially if the salon is well ventilated. Whichever you choose, just make sure you're sitting somewhere with good airflow and maybe ask your O&G at your next visit if you want extra reassurance.
