Experts worry about the chemicals in those gel kits ordered online.
Some unregulated products use high concentrations of hazardous adhesive resins that are all considered allergens, of varying strengths. When people at home wanted a pop of color on their nails, the solution used to be simple: They would pull out a bin filled with nail polish and get to work. They would meticulously paint each fingernail with traditional polish, using their nail as a canvas, trying to prevent the paint from spilling onto their skin.
Here’s what you need to know about at-home gel manicure kits to better protect yourself from potential harm.The key to gel polish’s success, compared to regular nail polish, is in its application. Wet gel polish, cured under UV or LED lights, is ready to be flaunted after just minutes, while normal nail polish can take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour to air dry.
Some of these chemicals are safe at a low concentration. But, McConnell said, the problem is that some products ordered online use high concentrations of inexpensive ingredients that “could cause issues.”“No one would try to treat or replace their own teeth without a dentist. Modern nail-care technologies, which have roots in dentistry historically, share a lot in common — they require professional skills and knowledge to avoid numerous unwanted side effects,” Solomonov said.
McConnell said if someone develops an allergy to the product, “you probably won’t be able to use gel polish . And you might also not be able to have a knee replacement.”
