About

Artificial fingernail products are made from many chemicals. Chemicals can cause contact dermatitis, asthma, and allergies in the eyes and nose, all problems that nail technicians know about. Because it is often difficult to tell which chemical in a nail salon is causing a sensitivity or allergy, it is best to control the exposure before it happens.
