Fitness star Kayla Isines shares a ‘weird’ pregnancy symptom she’s never experienced before.
The 31-year-old from Adelaide, who is 25 weeks pregnant, claims to have had an “allergic reaction” to gel nails. This is a symptom reported by many other pregnant women who have developed sensitive skin during pregnancy.
Health experts say this sensitivity increases your chances of reacting to gel nails. A 2020 study also found that nail hardeners were correlated with “higher risk of headaches, nausea, skin allergies and skin irritation in pregnant women.”
Kayla, a mom of one, shared a video of her bruised nails on her Instagram story and said she’ll have to wait until after she’s pregnant.
