Stay Away From Gel Manicure Lights! Can Be Dangerous to Your Health!

Please stay completely away from gel manicures!  They are long lasting and beautiful, no doubt.  But part of the problems with my nails/hands is from a Red Carpet Gel Manicure Kit I bought. The kit comes with a light that dries the gel.

I used it a few times and noticed all these bumps on the end of my fingers.  At first I didn't associate it with the light. However, it didn't take too long for me to put it all together.  If you look at the first pictures I posted on Matronista FB, you will see what I am talking about.

This is one video from YouTube that warns of the dangers.  This is the sanitized video.  There is one that will simply horrify you if you chose to look for it.

This is not a gel manicure obviously.  It is a water-marble manicure.
If you look carefully, you can see the damage and the bumps.

I cannot attribute damaged cuticles to a gel polish.
I can attribute them to the home Red Carpet Light that dried them out.

Do not let this happen to you.

Dry cuticles and bumps could be the least of your problems.
