allergic reaction to glitter overlays

Reacting to glitter overlays but nothing else?

17 Views

This is being written in mid-December so there is lots of long lanh around! Funny that!

It seems a lot of chuyên gia làm móng are reacting to an lớp phủ when it contains glitter but not when it doesn’t.
Why is that? Well, let’s think about it…..

It is very unlikely that anyone will react to the glitter itself as it is a solid. It is, however, possible to react to a non-cosmetically approved glitter (i.e a craft glitter).

So what is going on? What may be going on is the glitter inhibiting a chữa bệnh đúng cách! (Please watch the Allergies and How They Happen video to get a better understanding)

The pieces of glitter may be too many and/or too big to allow the overlay, whether it’s a Gel tia cực tím hoặc L&P, to properly sự chữa bệnh (the video will explain the polyme linkage). They may be blocking linkage and leaving some unreacted monome behind which can then leach out!

Visualize this: watch how the polymer links are formed. Imagine a huge (and it is huge in comparison to the monomers) piece of glitter hình thức a ‘wall’ to prevent these links from happening. Unreacted monomers (or oligome) can be trapped behind this wall.

Correctly formulated UV sơn gel with glitter will have addressed this. It may be that the ‘manufacturers instructions’ recommend 1-2 very thin layers so there is not too much glitter that is stopping a ‘proper cure’. If not, the good quality brands will have made sure that an ‘undercure’ is unlikely to happen.

The same applies to L&P bột polyme Và dip systems.

A polymer powder with glitter needs to be correctly formulated to allow a proper cure. PLUS there are manufacturers’ instructions on the ratio of powder to liquid monomer and the thickness of the layers of an overlay. (This is another reason to undertake brand education).

Dip powders have a similar potential issue. Those using a UV gel dip system, they dip an uncured UV gel lớp phủ into the powder. This sinks into the coating and is then cured. It COULD result in an chưa được bảo quản coating. It is less likely to occur with a cyanoacrylate dip system but not impossible.

Also, see the BPO(benzoyl peroxide) What and Why? blog on BPO dị ứng on polymer powders that are not formulated specifically for dipping systems.

There are some brands that suggest mixing sắc tố and glitters with their products. They should recommend the percentage that will still allow a proper cure. This is often 30% or less. For the bigger glitters, this is likely to be a lot less for all the reasons described above.

However, if you are reacting with or without glitter you DO have an allergy! The only way to address this is to remove all products and arrange for a dermatological patch test to discover exactly what ingredients you are reacting to. This will allow you to find a brand that you can continue to work with. Taking mediation or using creams only suppresses the symptoms. They DO NOT stop the cause which will be with you forever.

In conclusion, use good quality and trusted brands. They will have tested thoroughly for a proper cure and therefore avoid any unwanted reactions.

One part of the liquid and powder system that is, infact, millions of tiny beads of a co-polymer. The initiator for the system is coated on the beads and often a colour.<\/p>\n<\/div>","cmtt_d39f477aa143e3ad2d3d887dc00fb581":"

Cyanoacrylate<\/div>
\n

Cyanoacrylates are a family of strong fast-acting adhesives with industrial, medical, and household uses.<\/p>\n
\n

They are derived from ethyl cyanoacrylate and related esters. The cyanoacrylate group in the monomer rapidly polymerizes in the presence of water to form long, strong chains. They have some minor toxicity.<\/p>\n
\n

Also explained as products in the acrylate family of chemicals that are used as a nail tip adhesive or in the fibreglass system or in the \u2018dip\u2019 system.<\/p>\n<\/div>","cmtt_0506a8f91422e69ce467fd3507a8e7a4":"

In a salon, when an artificial nail covering has achieved 90 percent polymerisation and has reached its intended strength, containing only very low levels of unreacted monomers, which is considered safe.<\/p>\n<\/div>","cmtt_7efa1dceaedc19c93f53109ef1bd7ea6":"

When an artificial nail covering has achieved less than 90 percent polymerisation and has not reached its intended strength and contains potentially harmful levels of unreacted monomers or oligomers.<\/p>\n<\/div>","cmtt_743a16a09f2c15231a3bc1d51083aa7f":"

Oligomers<\/div>
\n

Small chains of monomers \u2013 which like monomers, themselves, can be the building blocks of polymers and the polymerisation process.<\/p>\n<\/div>","cmtt_386c1431b70ea08d70a9cff5236be3c9":"

Gel polish<\/div>
\n

Gel polish is a type of nail polish that is cured under UV or LED light to create a hard, durable and glossy coating. It is a two-step process that involves applying a base coat, followed by the gel polish color, and then finishing with a top coat. <\/p>\n
\n

The gel polish is composed of a mixture of monomers, oligomers, pigments, and other additives that polymerize when exposed to light. This creates a strong bond with the natural nail, making the manicure long-lasting and resistant to chipping, peeling and cracking. <\/p>\n
\n

Gel polish is typically removed by soaking the nails in acetone, and is a popular choice for people looking for a low-maintenance, high-shine manicure.<\/p>\n<\/div>","cmtt_0b3291125a2931d0b966539627189a90":"

Overlay<\/div>
\n

An overlay describes a nail coating. It is commonly used to describe an enhanced nail e.g. tip and overlay where a plastic tip is applied to the natural nail plate and an 'overlay' applied to the nail plate and tip to create a longer enhanced nail. Or a 'natural nail overlay' where a coating is applied directly to the nail plate to give it strength and\/or colour.<\/p>\n<\/div>","cmtt_010053c089a17f831365ec13343999d7":"

Cure \/ Curing<\/div>
\n

This is the term used to describe the polymerization process for the acrylics (whether uv gels or l&p systems) used in nail coatings. A 'proper cure' is what should be achieved which is when, at least, 80% of the coating has been polymerised. Anything less than this is considered to be 'under-cured' and can cause an allergic reaction. \"Over-curing\" would be when the nail coating is cured in a lamp that has a stronger output than what the manufacturer recommends, and it will make the nail coating brittle.<\/p>\n<\/div>","cmtt_8200773f1b325a2108a28a9e8d0b3b4a":"
