Hey lovely ladies so we just found out a few days ago that I'm pregnant and I wanna be as safe as possible with all things beauty so my first question is I can't get acrylics anymore but I can't remember the last time I didn't have them so my real nails are very thin so I was wondering if you guys new of any nail polishs that can help that my second question is I was trying to make my hair lighter but now I wanna go back to my natural hair color so seeing as I have tan to medium skin tone should I go with black hair color or a very dark brown hair color thanks for any tips in advance 😀

So long as your nail salon is well ventilated you can have acrylics while pregnant. The fumes can otherwise make you feel sick but to answer your question I have just taken mine off for a break and essie is very good. painted them Sunday and still no chips.

That's awesome thank you for the tip also when you took a break from acrylics did your natural nails feel very thin?

Congratulations on the forthcoming bubba! You can buy nail strengthening polishes, I believe Sally Hansen does one, and rub oil into your nails and cuticles to condition them, I like almond oil but olive oil works really nicely too. There's treatments you can do as well with a thick layer of handcream, put on cotton gloves and leave for a few hours or overnight, I find this really helps with strengthening my nails.

Gemma, I don't think it's the fumes that are a concern so much as the introduction of bacteria into small cuts/abrasions that you may not be able to see. I would stay away from the nail salon while pregnant.

I believe Zoya nail Polish is natural and non-toxic so it would be safe to you. many nail salons carry this brand :)

Essie and Sally Hansen are both great nail polish brands! ♡
