How long can you wear gel polish?
Gel polish is not just a trend, but a real lifesaver for those who want to maintain a flawless manicure for an extended period. It provides a durable finish, requires minimal maintenance, and stays neat for several weeks.
However, as the nails grow, the polish only remains on part of the nail plate, creating an imbalance and additional stress. This can weaken the nail, so it's important to update the manicure in time or use correction to maintain a perfect appearance.
How long can gel polish be worn?
The duration of a gel polish manicure depends on individual factors, including the rate of nail growth. On average, to maintain a flawless look and prevent noticeable regrowth, it's recommended to update the polish every 14-21 days.
The durability of a manicure largely depends on the location of the "stress zone" on the nail – the area where cracks are most likely to form.
How to find the "stress zone":
- Remove the old layer of polish from your nails.
- Gently press on the edge of your nail – the area where you feel pressure should turn slightly white.
- The boundary between the white area and the natural color of the nail is called the "stress zone."
Most often, the "stress zone" is located in the middle part of the nail plate, slightly closer to the cuticle.
The "stress zone" location may vary on each nail, so it's important to consider this factor when determining the optimal wear time for a manicure.
Wearing gel polish for too long can lead to several undesirable consequences:
- Chips and cracks on the nails;
- Significant damage to the nail plate;
- Peeling and brittleness of the nails;
- Weakened, thinned nails.

Gel polish is the perfect choice for those who want to enjoy a flawless manicure for an extended period. However, it is important not only to apply the product correctly but also to take care of nail health. To avoid damage and keep nails in good condition, gel polish should be removed in a timely manner. This will ensure proper nail care and help maintain their health in the long term.
