How to Care for Your Toes When Using Halal UV Gel Polish

 

Your toes deserve the same love and care as your hands—especially when you're using long-lasting Halal UV Gel Polish. While gel pedicures are a beautiful and durable choice, proper foot and toenail care is essential to avoid common issues like fungal infections, brittle nails, or cuticle damage.

In this blog, we answer the most commonly asked questions about maintaining healthy toes while enjoying your favorite Tuesday in Love Halal UV Gel Polish.

💅 Can UV Gel Polish Cause Toenail Damage?

Gel polish, when applied and removed correctly, is safe for your nails. However, prolonged use without breaks or improper removal can lead to brittle or weakened toenails. This happens because the outer most layer of your nails is made of dead keratin cells that need to naturally grow and shed. 

Tuesday in Love’s Halal UV Gel Polish, which is free from harsh chemicals and certified breathable, helps minimize damage while still offering salon-quality results.

✅ Tip: Always apply a base coat to protect the natural nail and avoid aggressive filing or peeling during removal.

🦶 How Can I Prevent Fungal Infections When Wearing Gel Polish on Toes?

Fungal toenail infections can occur when moisture gets trapped under the nail, or if polish is worn for too long. To prevent this:

• Make sure nails are clean and dry before applying polish.

• Avoid applying polish on broken or lifting nails.

• Wear breathable socks and shoes to reduce moisture buildup.

• Remove gel polish every 2–3 weeks to inspect your nails and let them rejeuvenate.

Tuesday in Love's Halal UV Gel Polish is designed to be breathable, making it a safer choice for extended wear.

 

🗓️ How Often Should I Remove Gel Polish from My Toes?

While UV gel polish can last 2 to 4 weeks, we recommend removing your gel pedicure around the 2.5 to 3-week mark—especially in summer months when feet are exposed to heat, moisture, and more frequent activity.

Allow your toenails to rest for 7–10 days between applications to maintain their natural strength and avoid discoloration or brittleness.

💡 During your rest period, apply a nourishing nail oil like Tuesday in Love’s Healing Cuticle Oil to restore hydration and resilience.

✂️ What’s the Best Way to Take Care of Toenails and Cuticles?

Proper nail care isn’t just about polish—it's about building a healthy foundation.

• Trim nails straight across to prevent ingrown toenails.

• Soak feet weekly in warm water with Epsom salt to soften cuticles and dead skin.

• Gently push back cuticles with a wooden stick—never cut them, as this can lead to infection.

• Exfoliate your feet regularly to remove calluses and promote circulation.

• Finish your routine with a hydrating foot cream and cuticle oil.

🌿 Is Halal UV Gel Polish Better for My Toenails?

Yes! Tuesday in Love's Halal UV Gel Polish is not only certified halal and breathable, but it's also:

• Long-wearing without suffocating the nail bed.

• Wudu-friendly, allowing water to reach the nail surface during ablution.

These features make it a safer and more faith-conscious option for everyday and special occasions alike.

🧴 Bonus Tip: Keep Your Tools Clean

Whether you do at-home pedicures or visit a salon, always make sure tools like nail clippers, buffers, and cuticle pushers are properly sanitized. Dirty tools can introduce bacteria and fungi into nail beds, especially if the skin is broken.
