Does anyone have an allergy to gel polish? I’ve been doing nails for 8 years. 2 years ago my fingers began to peel and crack and I finally figured out it’s the gel polish I’m allergic to. I protect my hands now with nitrile finger cots because I hate gloves but I was uneducated and got gel on my skin with every set for years. It took years of exposure to develop the allergy to anything that dries under a light even if it is hema free. Please, don’t get gel on you or your client, you will eventually have a reaction. My fingers hurt until I learned how to protect myself. My mama has done nails since 1995 and went through the same thing. I’m happy to answer any questions or help anyway I can to let techs know the dangers of getting gel on the skin.

What are the best products to use starting off I want to make sure I get the right products.
