I also really want my nails to get stronger and longer and i think have nail polish on my nails will help but i dont want to risk anything. Does anyone know the answer if its good or bad? Also, does anyone know any nails polishes that are really great and good for the nails?

It is both good and bad. Nail polish, applied correctly with a base coat, 2-3 layers of polish and topcoat, offers a hard protective coating to nails so that breakage is lessened. However, constantly polished nails become weaker with time. The nails themselves don't have to be as strong since they are being protected by layers of polish. I like to let my nails breathe for a few days after 2 or 3 polishings. (Is that a word?) :) It keeps them from getting too dependent on the extra protection and allows time for conditioning between applications. I opt for a more expensive base/top coat with less emphasis on the color coat.

no way -- i actually think some nail polishes make your nails stronger. If you are really worried about it, give your nails a break from the regular polish and put some OPI Nail Envy on them -- that really strengthens your nails. But overall, no, it is not bad for your nails to coat them with nail polish. Paint away :)

Nail polish it self on your nails is not bad but it will be bad for your nails if you keep the nail polish on for a while. Your nails can turn yellow, but this usually happens on your toe nails, but also it can be on your finger nails. if you dont put a base coat before you put the polish on then it can be bad.

ALWAYS use acetone-free remover. Keep your nails polished at all times because it keeps them from getting damaged. Start with a moisturizing base coat, like Nailtek (great stuff), then polish and keep topcoating every other day.

Well even though they may be good for your nails there not good for your health. The same thing found in nail polish (Acetone) is the same chemicals found in ciggarettes.
