At Nail'd.It!, we prioritize the health and safety of our clients with strict hygiene protocols.
We dispose of all single-use items, including nail files, toe separators, and buffers, after each use to prevent the retention of pathogens.
Additionally, we wipe down all surfaces, and foot spas are thoroughly cleaned with a disinfectant that is left to sit for 20 minutes to eliminate harmful bacteria.
I AM ALLERGIC TO ACRYLIC OR GELS WOULD THIS POLISH SUIT ME?
Sound familiar?
Here’s the answer. None
The question is incorrect, so it cannot be answered.
Acrylic and gel are not a specific substance but rather a family of materials, and both require a chemical reaction called "polymerization" to cure. Usually, this is where the allergy forms, not necessarily from the product itself.
So, how do you know what suits you and what does not?​
It is possible to experiment a bit with your experienced and professional nail technician and try working with gentler materials.
If you are willing to invest a bit of time and effort, you can take an allergy test to get an accurate answer; this may be the only way. There is a long list of ingredients in acrylics and gels and of
course, you want to ensure that the one that causes the allergic reaction to you is not on the list.
​
We are and offer professional nail advice and are happy to spend the time and search for alternative methods of keeping your hands and nails healthy, happy, and allergy-free.
I hope that this exploration into the nuances of acrylic and gel allergies empowers you to make choices that celebrate your manicures and pedicures in harmony.
