Why Women Who Get Gel Nails need YouVeeShield

How many of you love to get your nails done? How about gel nails, have you tried those yet? I actually tried them about a year or more ago, and I loved them! They make your nails look so much nicer. I’ve always been surprised at how they dry very quickly. It’s amazing to see that and to see how great they look when they get done. You may also be surprised how long they actually last. I’ve had my gel nails last a lot longer than regular nail polish.

Did you know that the uv rays from getting your gel nails dried are actually harmful to your skin? I’ve seen a lot of people put their hands under those lights, and it’s doing more harm than anything. Each gel manicure is equivalent to being in the direct sun for  approximately 21 to 40 minutes. Have you ever thought about using some kind of glove that can help protect your hands from the uv’s? The youveeshield is a great options for those that love the gel polish.

Youveeshield will block about 99.9% of the uv rays. That’s a lot more helpful for your skin to keep it looking more healthy. They have a UPF 50+ certificate issued by Solar Light Company. The .003 inch shield is made of FDA- approved materials including titanium dioxide, giving the shield its white color and UV blocking capabilities. The reflections from the glove at 365nm (UVA) are negligible for both the LED and UV Lamp sources. This means that the light is not “bouncing” out of the lamp because of the Shield.

If you enjoy getting your nails done by using gel polish, I hope that you’ll think about protecting your hands by using the youveeshield. Our readers get 15% off using the code “fall2016”, go here YouVeeShield I saw the prices, and they’re a great price! It all depends on how many you get, but they are $1 or less for one!

    That glove sounds like a great solution. I would if places that do nails will supply them in the future for customers who want them.
