Hello, I find a lot of contradictory information on the Internet. I can't understand whether gel nail polish, nail construction, drying with a UV or LED lamp is dangerous. Please, if there is anyone who is more familiar, let me know. thanks

From the author of the topic: I also read that lamps are harmful, some scientists claim that they cause cancer ???
Yes they are very dangerous. They contain dibutyl phthalate and other harmful chemicals. My advice is to read more on the net about what this substance is and what the harm from it is.
Hello! And I have read a lot on the subject and will share my opinion on the matter. He thinks it doesn't hurt. But even if it hurts, it will be very small on the nail, but it grows steadily, so I don't think it would be a problem. These UV and LED lights are harmful, but there are many, but very few in the lamps. There aren't enough rays to hurt. Somewhere from 100% -10% to harm. I explain it this way, I will be interested to read other opinions.
UV varnishes are no more harmful than ordinary varnish. The important thing is not to overdo it, to do it well and to take complete care of your nails. I don't remember exactly how many years ago they made me a manicure with gel polish for the first time, but it was at the very beginning, it was just a sensation here. Apparently the manicurist was not very good or the products were not of good quality (or maybe both), but after removing them, my nails were in a shocking state - soft and flaky. I already do my own manicure, I have a UV lamp, bases, varnishes, files. I do it several times in a row and then for about a month or more - a break. During the break I only shape my nails, I don't even apply colorless nail polish, there is a nourishing oil by Ikarov, which I use when I think of water and lemon for my fingers to stand for a few minutes. When I don't feel like it, I just rub them with a slice of lemon. They have become much healthier than before, grow fast and have a natural glow. As for UV rays - the lamps are not so powerful as to cause any damage, just as with everything there must be a measure.
I was using gel polish for four months and they even grew up, so now I have natural long and healthy nails without gel polish. I'm happy, I generally sat for more than a month, during that time I didn't have to worry at all and I varnish every week. Choose a manicurist who knows what she is doing!
I ordered a lamp, but UV / ice is so, with a very long life. Only 9 watts is powerful, but it thinks it will work for me. I understand that there must be breaks so as not to exhaust the nail. For home use, I was interested to read your reviews, I still like, if there is anyone who knows more, let me know. FROM THE AUTHOR
As a person with 3 years of experience with gel polishes, both Chinese and professional, I don't think it hurts gel polish at all if it is removed and applied correctly !!!
It hurts categorically. Now I use Icarus oil and minse fix nails.
