I don’t have experience with gel polish yet, I just wanted to say that your hand looks just like mine and I stared at this picture for a solid minute lol (I even have the little white marks on my nails)

Nail tech here, nails can’t breathe in the literal sense. If you like to give them a break because the application process is hard on them, that’s totally fine and personal preference although it’s not necessary. I’d say if you do find that your nails wear thinner the longer you have an enhancement on, you’d have better luck finding a nail tech that prioritizes the health of your natural nail over the speed of the appointment. There are wrong ways to remove and apply product. Most salons are quantity over quality and this will show in our nails over time.

Nails do not need to breathe, but it’s still good to take a break from the buffing and removal process of a gel service. You could wear regular polish during a break if you wanted! It’s actually good to have a layer of protection over your nails and a daily application of cuticle oil is key for keeping them healthy
