Can a gel polish or gel really be breathable?

In many countries, it is a legal requirement for beauty and nail salons to keep Safety Data Sheets (SDS) of all the cosmetic and chemical products used. But apart from this,SDS contain a lot of useful information about the products you will use on clients.

As an increasing number of Nail Technicians and salon clients develop allergies to artificial nail products, companies are racing to introduce safer hypoallergenic or HEMA-free products. Which option should you choose?

Every time we start or discover something new, we are filled with inspiration, expectation, anticipation and excitement. And sometimes you don't know which is bigger: the anticipation or the excitement...

Why? Because everything new is still unknown, unexplored, unfamiliar. And it's normal, it's natural.

But how cool it is to bring newness into life, to open up new perspectives, new opportunities!

We have always been taught to make choices, at work, in the supermarket, in life, etc. And sometimes to do it to the detriment of something.

But very often we want everything and "First" and "Second". And NOT to make a choice, but to take, accept all the options that are given and offered, without sacrificing one for the sake of the other. Do you agree?

It is increasingly difficult for Nail Technicians to know if a specific nail product is legal. In recent years, many new brands are sourcing products from China that may contain illegal cosmetic ingredients and also legal ingredients in excessive amounts - both significantly increasing the risk of allergies. Often these brands seem to be unable to even follow the most basic requirements - to produce product labels that contain all the information that is legally required.
