Q&A

 

Why do some nail techs get mad when you give them safety information?

 

1. Professional Pride: Nail technicians often take pride in their skills and knowledge. If you provide safety information that they were not previously aware of or did not consider, they may interpret it as a criticism of their expertise. This can lead to defensiveness or anger as they may feel their professional competence is being questioned.

 

2. Resistance to Change: Like anyone, nail technicians may be resistant to change. If the safety information you provide suggests new practices or technique...

Nail Fact:  All nail lamps rely on UV light, albeit with varying bulb types.

 

Contrary to some unscrupulous brands' claims, there are no non-UV nail lamps on the market. Gel polish indispensably needs UV light to properly cure.  UV light initiates a chemical reaction called polymerization. When gel polish is exposed to UV light, it activates the photoinitiators present in the formula, causing the molecules to link together and form a durable, long-lasting bond with the nail surface. This curing process transforms the initially liquid gel into a hard, chip-resistant finish that adheres firmly to the nail. UV light not only accelerates the drying time of gel polish but also ensures a flawless application and glossy result.

Top 10 Most Hazardous Nail Products

 

The order of Nail Products hazardousness is determined by considering the potential risks and harmful effects of each product on the skin and similar ingredients.

In terms of hazard, it is important to consider the concentration and formulation of the products, as well as the duration and frequency of exposure.

1. Acrylic Monomer is placed first because it contains chemicals HEMA/EMA that can irritate the skin, eyes, and damage your respiratory system. Methacrylates, cause skin sensitization and allergic reactions when overexposured. They are more potent and have a higher risk of adverse effects compared to other ingredients on this list.

 

2. Protein Bond is second because it can also cause skin sensitivity and allergic reactions if overexposed. It contains chemicals HEMA, (1-METHYLETHYLIDENE)BIS[4,1-PHENYLENEOXY(2-HYDROX Y-3,1-PROPANEDIYL)] BISMETHACRYLATE and ethyl acetate that trigger allergic responses when overexposed.  Protein Bond is ranked after acrylic monomer due to its lower potency.

 

3. Gel Polish/gels: Gels are third because it contains chemicals that are harmful if overexposed. The uncured gel can cause skin irritation, sensitivity and allergies. While gels are generally safe to use if used correctly, they are ranked slightly lower due to the risks associated with prolonged exposure and incorrect application techniques.

 

4. Acid Primer: Acid primers are placed fourth because they contain corrosive acids, such as methacrylic acid or phosphoric acid. These acids can cause skin irritation, burns, and sensitivity if overexposed. Acid primers are considered by many to be more hazardous than the previous products due to their corrosive nature. However, acid primer should be used in tiny amounts minimizing the risk of extended exposure. While Acrylic monomer is used in larger quantities and requires more extensive exposure during the nail application process.

 

Acid primer is considered less hazardous compared to protein bond because it typically contains milder chemicals. Acid primers usually
