Nail Health & Gel Polish: TGB Featured in Women’s Health

The Truth About Nail Health and Gel Polish

We’re thrilled to share that The GelBottle Inc has been featured in Women's Health! The article explores an important topic: do nails need a break from gel polish?

“Nails do not naturally need a ‘break’ from product application as nails are not made up of living cells, your nails get oxygen and nutrients from your blood supply rather than the air around them. Therefore, with consistent appointments and correct product application, the health of the natural nails should never be affected.” — Giorgia Cappella, Head of Education & Spa.

Maintaining nail health is essential, and while gel manicures offer durability and a flawless finish, proper nail care is key to long-term strength and vitality. The Women's Health feature highlights expert advice from our Head of Education & Spa, Giorgia Cappella, on keeping nails in top condition, including:

• The importance of hydration and cuticle care – Keeping nails and cuticles moisturised with nourishing cuticle oils and hydrating hand creams helps prevent brittleness and promotes healthy nail growth. Hydration is key for strong, flexible nails that resist breakage. Try our Cuticle Essence Duo for healthy hydrated nails.

• How BIAB™ (Builder in a Bottle) can support natural nail strength – The GelBottle BIAB™ range is designed to strengthen weak nails, providing protection and promoting natural growth. This innovative formula helps prevent splitting and peeling, making it a go-to for long-lasting nail health. Try the new Sheers and Shimmers Collection, featured in Women’s Health that gives your clients TPO-free nail coverage.

• Tips for safely removing gel polish to prevent damage – Avoid peeling or picking at gel polish, as this can weaken nail beds and cause long-term damage. Instead, opt for professional removal or use a pure acetone with nourishing cuticle oil to keep nails strong and healthy. Our new pure Acetone comes in different sizes giving you better value based on your usage, or why not try our innovative Soak Away? Infused with oils, this hydrating formula is excellent for client nail prep.

• The benefits of professional application and removal versus DIY approaches – Visiting a certified nail technician ensures proper application and removal techniques, reducing the risk of nail thinning and breakage. Professional treatments also help maintain the longevity and health of natural nails. Head to our Salon Finder if you’re looking for a professional nail technician near you.

“If you feel your nails have been damaged, we recommend a consultation with a professional on an advised treatment plan.” — Giorgia Cappella, Head of Education & Spa"
