Is it just us, or is everyone currently talking about the dangers of gel nails? From eczema to rashes and all kinds of allergic reactions, we've seen so much information online about whether or not this popular nail trend is bad for your skin. If we're being honest, we've been left completely confused on whether or not we should be cancelling our monthly nail appointment (despite the fact we're loving nail art, right now).

Here at Marie Claire UK, we are always keeping an eye on the latest beauty news to understand and distinguish between what's important and what's not. So, instead of panicking straight away, we decided to consult with the experts to see what they had to say.
