Safe Use

Apply to healthy nails only. 

It is important that the nail is not damaged before applying the gel or acrylic.  

Damaged nails could increase the absorption of an ingredient and the risk of developing reactions. Do not remove nail ridges and do not allow someone to do that to your own nails. Do not apply to nails if the nail is cracked, split or bruised and do not apply if the finger area surrounding the nail is looking sore or inflamed or the skin is broken. 4.3 Wear Appropriate Gloves 

Wear the right sort of gloves when applying product to nails and for gel nails, when removing any uncured gel after the procedure is completed including tissues or wipes with any product on.  

The best practice recommends that for the nail professional, nitrile gloves are used of 0.8mm thickness and changed after every client.  

These are recommended to be changed every 15 minutes as the chemicals involved can penetrate through the gloves given sufficient Ɵ me. 

Do Not Reuse Gloves. 

Removal of Gloves – 
Removing gloves without the contaminated part of the fingers touching the skin requires a technique that needs practice.  

Using Reputable Products – 
Cosmetics products on the EU market, which include L&P and UV gel nail products, must comply with the Cosmetic Products Regulation (EC) No. 1223/2009.  

This Regulation is seen as a gold standard for cosmetic safety across the world.  

Nail care professionals have a duty of care to their clients and staff .
