okay, so they don't cause fungus because i have been getting my nails done for a very long time. You just need to keep getting them filled in every three weeks or that could be bad, or just get them taken off.

Yes, you can ge nail fungus from any type of nail enhancement whether it be gels, acrylics, or wraps. But, it is not the nail enhancement that causes the fungus. Fungus generally occurs when an artificial nail has started to 'lift' aroud the edge of it. This can cause a gap between the natural nail, and the enhancement. These gaps have a tendency to trap moisture, and water in them and that is what causes the fungus. Not the nail itself though. The best way to avoid this condition - usually referred to as the 'greenies' is to have regular maintenance performed on your nails, such as bi-weekly fills. Also, if you notice any lifting starting to happen between fills, you really should go in and get them filled ASAP. Just leaving it as it is can be just as bad as nt getting fills at all. A case of the greenies is nothing serious. It is easily cured by exposure to open air. That means that to cure it, you would need to have the artificial nail(s) that are affected - removed for a while until they heal on their own.
