Is it bad to have back-to-back gels?

I typically have gels on most of the late spring to summer then let me nails have a 'break' throughout winter.

Is it strange or good practice? 💅🏻

When I've had them removed, my natural nails feel like absolute dog shit, soo brittle and a little uneven on the nail bed due to the electric file.

What do you do? I'm getting nail envy but worried about the healthiness of my nails.
