Gel Nails? WWGPMD?

I want to get my nails done for our vacation next week but I don't know if I should. I have googled and they say to go ahead and do it as long as its a well ventilated room. DH and mom have said not to do it but I think I should be okay I'm 17 weeks.

i want to get my gel nails done and get a pedicure but what do you ladies think? Should I just not do it?

TIA 

Re: Gel Nails? WWGPMD?

  • I get my nails done at least every other week and I have continued since my BFP.  Most of the high end polishes don't have formaldehyde in them anymore.  I don't think the place I go to is fumey at all.  Go early in the day and you'll be fi

  • Crap my message got erased!! Anyway, I think I might go tomorrow morning, I need to finish convincing myself, lol! 

    Do you get gel nails or just mani and pedi?

      

  • I probably would just do a regular mani/pedi (no gels). 

    I like gels, but I would be worried about the process of getting the gels off causing a lot of chemicals to be on your skin over a longer period of time.

    JMO though. I am a pret

  • I wouldn't. It doesn't matter how nice the place is, it's still full of fumes and micro particles from filing. 

    I guess that's just one of the sacrifices I made when I got pregnant.

  • I got my nails done a handful of times when I was PG. My place is pretty well ventilated.

    I would not do gel, like PP said, because of the soaking in acetone to get it off, etc.

  • I had my toes done 3 times and my hands once with gel polish while pregnant. In fact, I went in right before my c/s day to have it done so that my toes would look good in the hospital! I say go for it but I would also explain to your husband that it is sa
