Why are we seeing more reactions from gel polish services vs gel enhancement services?

Good question and one I haven’t considered before. I think there could be a few reasons:

  • UV gel polish is the most popular nail service
  • There are numerous imported brands that may not meet the expected level of quality
  • There are more brands that only focus on UV gel polish and don’t supply enhancement systems
  • Education is always an issue, there are many users that have no qualification in the UV gel system, so have no in-depth knowledge of the process and dangers
  • Education of enhancement services usually (and should) entail more content, therefore additional training and knowledge
  • So many consumers use retail kits with no understanding and develop an allergy then visit a nail professional when they are already allergic/irritated
