Yes, you can let gel nails grow out. However, as your natural nails grow, a gap will form between the cuticle and the gel. To manage this, you can either fill in the gap with additional gel polish or carefully file and buff the border. Alternatively, get the gel nails professionally removed and reapply new ones if needed, to maintain a neat appearance.
