Is painting your nails too often bad for you nails?

I never thought it really did anything, btu someone on here said that you shouldn't do it very often because it danages your nails. Is that true? Should I stop painting my nails so often?

Sometimes, especially if you wear dark nailpolish without using a base coat first, your nails can be discoloured. The discolouration isn't permanent, though, because it grows out along with your nails. However, it's important that you give your nails a break every once in a while, because when you apply nail polish (especially over the cuticle) the nail bed can't ';breathe'; as well.
Well If you manicure your nails every week, its good. You just have to let them breathe about every 3 weeks. It makes your nails grow. If you dont let them breathe, they get discolored and turn a slight yellowish color. Soak them in lemon water before putting back on a different shade. Also try putting a clear coat, known as ';base coat'; before putting on the official color.
It's not actully bad for your nails, it just slightly discolors them and makes them kind of yellowish. I just soak my nails in lemon juice for 5 min. to make them whiter. You can also apply a clear acrylic coat over your nails before painting to proect them from the polish.
actually, all the polish can turn the nails an unattractive shade of yellow after time and the remover will weaken nails. it's best to take little breaks so your nails can ';breathe'; and all the fumes aren't good anyway
YES BUT I DO IT ANYWAYS

yes, it is bad for your nails. i would stop painting your nails as often if i were you. : )
yes because the nail bed need to breath, if they can't, they will turn yellow, and that would be every unattractive!
