How Weather Impacts Nails

Introduction

Nails are a part of our body that can be affected by the weather. In this blog post, we will discuss how the weather can impact nails and some tips on how to deal with these changes. We hope you enjoy!

Weather and Nail Growth

As the temperature rises, so does the speed at which your nails grow. While this may be welcome news for those who like to keep their nails looking pristine, it can also be a bit of a nuisance. More frequent trips to the salon can quickly add up, and managing your nails in the heat can be a bit of a challenge. On the other hand, cooler temperatures tend to slow down nail growth, giving you a break from all the upkeep. However, your nails may also become drier and more brittle in colder weather. So, if you're trying to decide whether to head south for the winter or stay put, you may want to consider the impact on your nails!

Humidity and Nails

If you live in a dry climate, you've probably noticed that your nails tend to be more brittle and break more easily than when you lived in a more humid climate. That's because lower humidity increases brittleness, while higher humidity actually make nails less brittle. So, if you want to keep your nails healthy and strong, you need to find a way to increase the moisture in the air. One way to do that is to use hand lotions or cuticle oils on a regular basis. These products help to keep your hands moisturized, which in turn helps to keep your nails from drying out and breaking. Another way to increase the humidity is to use a humidifier in your home or office. By keeping the air moist, you can help to reduce the amount of brittleness in your nails.

Acrylics Vs Weather

If you work with acrylics, you know that monomer drying time can be a tricky thing. In general, monomers harden faster in hotter temps and may run and drip more in colder temps. Some manufacturers have summer formulas that address this issue, but most are now all season balanced. That said, professional applications are usually done in a temperature controlled environment to ensure optimal results. So if you're working with acrylics at home, be aware of the potential risks and take steps to ensure that your work area is within the ideal temperature range.

Gel Viscosity With Weather

Have you ever noticed that your gel polish doesn't always behave the same, even if you use the same brand and type? That's because the viscosity, or thickness, of the gel can change with temperature. In general, hotter temperatures will make the gel runnier, while colder temperatures will make it thicker and harder to work with. This can be a problem if you're trying to achieve a smooth, even finish on your nails. One solution is to use a gel thinner, which can help to adjust the viscosity of the gel so that it's easier to work with. So next time you're experiencing some trouble with your gel polish, take a closer look at the temperature in your environment and make sure you're using the right products for the job.
