What kind of nails don’t ruin your nails?

Nails that cause the least damage are natural nails kept healthy with gentle treatments. A regular manicure with traditional polish is generally the safest option since removal does not involve harsh scraping or soaking in strong solvents. Japanese manicures and other natural methods that use nourishing oils and buffing also avoid damage while improving nail strength. If enhancements are desired, dip powder and gel can be less harmful than acrylics, provided removal is done properly by a professional. The key to avoiding damage is choosing techniques that minimize filing, avoid strong adhesives, and prioritize nail hydration and overall health.
