Gel Polish Isn’t As Safe As You Think (Here’s Why Press-Ons Are the Safer Glam Move)

🚨 Emergency in the nail world! 🚨

Europe just dropped some serious news: certain gel polishes are officially banned. And yeah, it’s kind of a big deal. Chemicals like TPO, which help gels cure under UV or LED lights, have been linked to skin irritation, allergies, and even some long-term health concerns. That glossy, perfect mani you love? Might be stressing your nails more than you think.


Why Europe Said “No Thanks” to Gel

Can You Put Acrylic Nails Under UV Lamp?

Okay so quick tea: gel polish looks amazing, but those chemicals aren’t as harmless as they seem. Dermatologists are calling out TPO for causing potential skin problems, allergic reactions, and in some studies, long-term risks. Basically, what gives you that shiny, lasting look could also be doing a little damage behind the scenes.

What Does This Mean for India?

India hasn’t banned gels yet, but many products here use similar chemicals. Add in the UV curing process, and you could be leaving your nails stressed and irritated. It’s not about panicking, it’s about being smart and giving your nails a little love while still staying glam.

Why Press-Ons Are the Move

Press-ons are basically the ultimate chill, fuss-free solution:

  • No harsh chemicals, no UV drama – nails stay healthy and happy

  • Wayyyyy Cheaper - gel nails are about 2.5k on average for even simple designs and only last a month, most press-ons are about 1k on the pricier end, and are reusable! (well, if you use Floss Beauty nails at least!)

  • Fast and easy – flawless nails in minutes, no salon time.

  • Reusable & playful – switch them up with your mood or outfit.

  • Glam without the stress – French tips, bold colors, statement designs… your nails, your rules.

Floss Beauty press-ons are designed to be easy, long-lasting, and effortlessly cute. Whether you’re brunching, going out, or just flexing at home, they’ve got your nails covered.

What You Can Do

If gel polish is your usual go-to, maybe give it a break and try press-ons for a bit. You’ll get that polished, high-glam look without the worry. Safe, stylish, and totally fuss-free.
