I went to 'cosmetology' school in 1974 (hairdressing). We were cautioned against false nails where the nails have to be sanded down and the manicurist actually disturbs the nail bed. (If it hurts, this is what's happening).
You couldn't pay me to have false nails – I work with my hands and keep mine trimmed very close.
I don't know whether stopping the nails from breathing could be an issue. It's all part of our skin and we have to watch for the Koebner effect – any trauma to the skin can trigger flare-ups of LS (and psoriasis). For example when I go to the dentist, the prolonged pressure on my lower lip and chin triggers a psoriasis patch that lasts weeks.
So, we always weigh our priorities. There are dietary things I haven't addressed because I refuse to make any more sacrifices. Not doing my nails is no sacrifice for me.

I think you could cause more problems long term by having this done just for the sake of your nails looking nice...my post regarding nails was purely out of interest..I simply wondered how common it was.
Best to you.

Having just read a 2012 review of all LS studies I'm not feeling like I can have any more control over oit that I have now.
