At an American Academy of Dermatology conference last month, Adigun said that removing the gel requires soaking in an acetone solution for at least 10 minutes. She said that can make nails dry and brittle. “I wouldn’t tell a patient to stop getting gel manicures,” she said. “I just advise them to be mindful and be aware before having a new manicure put on.” Tina Falasca, 40, of Upper Arlington, said she gets gel manicures every two to three weeks. She puts sunscreen on her hands before each manicure. “I love them,” Falasca said. “My nails always look like I just came from a nail salon.” Sara Jerde is a fellow in Ohio University’s E.W.
