I have been using acrylic nails for over a year. I want to change to gel…but I like changing color regularly. Can I use gel soak off color without hurting the extensions when I soak them in acetone polish remover?
Update:
I want to go with gel extensions. Can I use gel color over the extensions and can I remove and change the color?

Gel can harm your nerves.
Many beauty & hair products now have LABEL INGREDIENTS and DISCLAIMERS, specially makeup, they are required to put labels so consumers are aware to watch for chemicals: DBP, TITANIUM, MERCURY, HYDROQUINONE, or Toluene solvent, that causes cancer or harm us. In other words, less is MORE.
Women in the study with highest concentrations of these chemicals, called phthalates, in their bodies were more likely to have diabetes than women with lowest concentrations, the researchers said.
Phthalates are found in a variety of products, including nail polish, hair sprays, soaps and shampoos.

My niece had migraines and couldn’t figure out what was happening to her. We thought her BF was sneaking drugs in her drinks! It happened right after her st mani.

I got rid anything GEL in my house. I washed with gel (PARABEN FREE) bath & body wash, after months, I couldn’t figure out why every time I take a shower, that I was getting a head-ache spells. It took months to start feeling the ‘side effects’, but I’m getting rid of it today and buying a different one.
