What does sunlight do to your nails?

Below we describe the influence of sunlight on your nails.
With the summer temperatures, you naturally want to protect your skin from UV radiation. We apply plenty of sunscreen. Not surprising, but what is often not thought of is that fingernails and toenails can also be damaged by the sun!
Damaged nails
Too much sun can soften your nails, making them more likely to break. They can also turn yellow. By using a good, protective nail polish, you can better protect your fingernails and toenails from the bright sunlight.
Gel nails
If your fingernails are already soft and brittle, consider gel polish or gel on your nails. Gel nails and gel polish are characterized by a natural look. They are strong and flexible, which makes them feel like your own nails. Gel nails protect the underlying, natural nail.
If you choose gel polish on your nails, use a base coat before applying the color polish. The base coat ensures good adhesion between the natural nail and the artificial nail.
Protective nail polish
A good, protective nail polish is available in the trendiest colours. Some colours are more sensitive to sunlight, which can cause them to discolour. That is why it is advisable to apply a top coat as the last step of the manicure. This coating provides extra protection for the nail polish and ensures even more shine.
