Topic: allergies
I have been doing nails for 16 years. I have a very successful business. I have a very problemed client. She is allergic to every chemical involved in acrylic nails. I have tried different chemicals, with and without primer. Her fingertips swell and are very tender. Wraps were working but now that she is more active with her hands, they are failling apart. I do not have this problem with any other client, and I use good products. I need to switch her to something else. I am afraid that gels won't hold up either but I can't think of any other ideas. Does anyone have any advice? I am open to anything at this point. Thanks! Jen
Topic: hello everyone,

hello everyone,
I'm from Richmond, Canada and planning to study nails. But currently, I heard from my realtives that nail polish and polish remover are harmful to our body. At the beginning I only know it's not healthy to smell those nail polish scents because it contains lots of chemicals. But now I check online, and found out that if you always use these chemicals, it's really harmful to our body. A scientist from the states announced that these chemicals from nail products can cause cancer( if u use these products many time in everyday) Or, it may cause other sickness becase when u breath, the chemcial will get in to our body. also, if you are pregnant, you should avoid using nail polish, because it could damage your baby's brain and cause other sickness. I really want to ask all the nail technicians, how's your life being a nail technician? does it cause any bad expereince for you? does it really affect your health and your child? I really want to figure it out before I study. Thank you everyone!
Annie.

Topic: RE: Nail Tech needs help!!!!
I don't agree with the fact your employer is forcing you to do Gel. I don't think anyone should do something unless they want to. are you even certified to do gel?
there are a lot of pro's and cons.
Gel: Basically need a perfect nail to pull them off. can't get a crisp white smile line like acrylic. they are very dusty when filing. lift easier on a lot of people. are often the only thing that works on someone with their hands in water a lot. Some think they look more natural. But thats because you can't get a white that is REALLY white so they match more of that natural white look. Comes in colors.
Acrylic: Covers flaws on the nail. Available in many shades of white and pink to match up to different skin tones to get a more natural look. Stronger than Gel. Great for nail biters. Comes in different colors and sparkles for colored tips when doing French.
