NEED ANSWER ASAP!!
Is it safe to have Gel nails put on during your 1st trimester?

Acrylic are created with chemicals, but Gel are not and are told to be not as damaging to your natural nails.

My daughter wants these done for an upcoming event, but we don't want to harm the baby.
Thank you for any help!

Yes, it's safe to have your nails done. There may be an issue with the smells in the salon, especially if one suffers from morning sickness.
