Being pregnant is an exciting time when you are extra conscious of what you use and do. If you like well-groomed nails, you might wonder if gel nail stickers are a safe choice during pregnancy. Here's everything you need to know.
Are gel polish stickers safe during pregnancy?
Yes, gel polish stickers are safe to use during pregnancy, with one small adjustment: we recommend omitting the top coat just to be safe. Although gel polish stickers require UV light to cure, this process is short and safe for you and your baby.
Most gel polish stickers:
- Do not contain harmful substances such as formaldehyde, toluene, or DBP.
- The use of UV light is limited and harmless.
- Do not cause strong chemical fumes that you can inhale.
Please note: Always check the ingredients of the stickers to be sure and ensure they are free from harmful substances such as formaldehyde and toluene. Choose a high-quality and safe option.
Why omit the top coat?
Although the base coat and stickers are safe, a top coat can often contain additional chemical components that are best avoided during pregnancy. Skipping the top coat has little impact on the result; your nails will still look beautiful and stay looking good for a long time.
Our top coat does not contain harmful substances for pregnant women and is free from formaldehyde, toluene, or DBP. Therefore, it is important to always check this. Just make sure you don't get too close when applying it, to avoid inhaling any fumes.
