Brilio.net - For some people, using nail water is very important to improve their appearance. Nail art is defined as the art of decorating nails by painting or painting nails using special nail polish.
During the nail art process, nails are considered a canvas that can be decorated with various materials such as nail polish, stickers, glitter, diamond decorations, and other small images.
Even though it can beautify the nails, it turns out that nail art can also cause various problems with the nails. Excessive use of nail art can damage the health and natural beauty of nails. It's not uncommon for nails to become more brittle, damaged, and worse, they can rot after doing nail art.
As recently experienced by a celebrity, Sarah Keihl. Sarah told her story via her personal TikTok account @sarah.keihl, when she experienced rotten nails due to fungus growing on her nails. This happened some time after she did nail art.
Sarah said that initially she did nail art by adding extensions to her three nails. The goal is to make all his nails the same length.
"Well, of the 10 nails, only three were extended. Which is because the others are fine," said Sarah, as reported by briliobeauty.net from the TikTok account @sarah.keihl, Friday (21/6) .

While using nail art, Sarah did not experience or feel anything on her nails. However, when it was removed (the process of removing nail art), Sarah's nails suddenly became black, brittle and looked rotten. Apparently, this happened due to a poor nail art installation process.
"Well, it turns out that when I was applying it, it seemed like the glue wasn't completely covered or something. So when we did activities like bathing, dirt got in, maybe bacteria or whatever got in and it seemed to settle on the nails," explained Sarah.
After learning about the rotten condition of her nails, Sarah finally took steps to get her nails done. She decided to remove all the extensions on her nails and diligently care for her nails using vitamins. Not only that, Sarah was also willing to cut all her nails shorter to speed up the healing of her nail condition.

After experiencing a problem that shocked her, Sarah advised her to be more careful in choosing a place or keeping her nails clean.
"The main thing is to check it often. Because I didn't feel it at all when my nails were like this. Suddenly when I removed them it became like that," said Sarah Keihl.
Luckily, after taking proper care, Sarah Keihl's nails are now better than before. His nails, which were initially black, are now faded and look healthier.

Through Sarah Keihl's story, it is a reminder that it is important to maintain healthy nails and take good care of them. Apparently, the fungus that caused Sarah Keihl's nails to break down and rot was the Tinea unguium fungus. This fungus is generally characterized by the presence of white or yellow dots at the tip of the nail.
If left without proper treatment and care, fungus can spread and cause nails to change color, thicken, become brittle, or even become damaged. Nail fungus easily occurs on warm and damp nail areas. Usually this fungus is also susceptible to becoming a place for bacteria to grow and cause nails to rot.
So, to prevent that from happening, you can pay attention to several things. Such as ensuring that nail art tools and materials are completely sterile, diligently using nail vitamins, cutting nails regularly, and diligently cleaning between nails to avoid the growth of fungus and bacteria.
