India, Aug. 5 -- Let's face it, we all love nicely manicured nails. Those nail extensions or pretty gel shades on our nails add an instant oomph factor. In fact, gel nails have become increasingly popular in the nail industry. They last longer and give a glossy finish compared to traditional nail polish techniques.

Gel manicures include many steps as traditional manicures; the nails are trimmed, filed, and shaped, and then the nails are cured under the UVB lamps to cure and harden the gel nails so that they last longer. It is all because of this curing technique that gel manicures last between 10 days and 3 weeks.

However, have you ever wondered if those UVB lamps or nail lamps for most of us are even safe for our skin?
