Can I do gel manicure when I have onychomycosis?
It is a contraindication to carrying out gel manicure. Gel layer that should remain on the nail plate from 2 to 4 weeks prevents a direct contact of nail with air and sunlight. Such conditions guarantee rapid fungus development. Applying gel layer may only worsen pre-existing condition. One can easily infect with onychomycosis. That’s why nail varnishes, tops and bases used on subsequent clients cannot be used on infected nail plate. It is essential to deal with the disorder first, and only then manicure can be safely carried out.
