Acrylate plastic components – if you suddenly get skin problems due to nail polish and artificial fingernails.

If you suddenly have blisters and reddened areas on your hands or even on your face, and the whole thing itches on top of that, you quickly think of an allergy. But it might not quickly occur to you that it could be against nail polish or artificial fingernails.

The trigger: acrylic plastic components. The hardened plastic is used as a binding agent in nail polish - or to harden or attach artificial fingernails. The consequences can occur not only on the hands, but also on the face.

By the way: The quality of your own nails can suffer if artificial nails are attached. Especially if cavities form between the natural and artificial nail, bacteria and fungi can grow and multiply in secret. The result is extremely unsightly.
