In this episode, I sit down with Gina Farran, Founder of Glaize, the innovative stick-on gel nail alternative giving us the most beautiful, salon-worthy nails without the UV lamps, harsh removal process or hours spent sitting in the salon chair.
I'm guessing that almost every girl listening to this episode either has gels on her nails right now or has had them done at some point. Gel manicures have become such a normal part of our beauty routines, and I am absolutely no exception. There is something about having my nails done that makes me feel instantly more polished and put together.
But have we ever really stopped to question what we're exposing ourselves to in the name of beautiful nails?
The strong chemical smell when you walk into a nail salon, the technicians wearing masks, the UV lamps, the filing, soaking and scraping... it's a lot for our hands and nails to go through, especially when we're repeating the process every few weeks. And while we love the end result, there are some very real health risks that we need to be talking about.
In this episode, Gina and I uncover the truth about gel manicures, from the ingredients in our nail products and the potential risks of repeated UV exposure to what actually happens to our natural nails during application and removal.
We also discuss why Gina created Glaize, a game-changing alternative that makes it possible to achieve gorgeous, glossy, salon-quality nails at home in minutes, without the need for a UV lamp.
This isn't about giving up the little beauty rituals that make us feel good. It's about understanding what we're putting on our bodies, questioning the things we've come to accept as normal and discovering that there might just be a better way.
