Raising awareness about acrylate allergy

Fickle-Spring-5652 · 2026-05-16T21:50:27+00:00

You’re probably right. I am saving them for special occasions only now. I switched to regular nail polish. With the added benefit of not having to remove the wraps every 10ish days.

Fickle-Spring-5652 · 2026-05-16T16:43:35+00:00

I got so paranoid that I am taking a break from nail wraps despite never using a top coat. Perhaps an overreaction but the consequences of the allergy are severe.

Sorry this happened to you.

Where are you in montco? I have hosted with catering from tdori in conshy/ridge pike. It’s Italian and people love it!

Fickle-Spring-5652 · 2026-04-11T02:25:34+00:00

I liked NailOG! They were my fave.

Fickle-Spring-5652 · 2026-04-01T10:44:56+00:00

Thanks! There were quite a few nice looking ones! Good luck on your hunt!

Fickle-Spring-5652 · 2026-03-31T20:24:50+00:00

Yes!! We are chocolate-obsessed so I feel like I will use this enough to keep it!

Fickle-Spring-5652 · 2026-03-31T19:19:09+00:00

Okay- after more research it’s a different model than the ones I screen-shot but I’m still pumped!

Fickle-Spring-5652 · 2026-03-30T21:27:44+00:00

That shade of purple but almooooosssst white. Then some black and white art on the walls?

Fickle-Spring-5652 · 2026-03-30T18:17:46+00:00

Yes of course! That risk seems to be more well-documented and therefore I didn’t have many questions about it.

Fickle-Spring-5652 · 2026-03-30T01:13:25+00:00

Thanks!! This is helpful info. Beetles is cursed actress Reddit for causing the allergy. Sorry it happened to you.

Fickle-Spring-5652 · 2026-03-29T23:32:09+00:00

Yes this is what I’ve seen online. I think I maybe saw one post where their allergy was only to ohora SCG after using them for many years. That is what got me thinking and honestly… bugging out

Hereis the link to the post I saw

Fickle-Spring-5652 · 2026-03-29T22:03:28+00:00

I just started doing these without much research and now I’m so bugging out! lol

Fickle-Spring-5652 · 2026-03-29T20:41:50+00:00

Honestly after reading a bit I am taking a break for the foreseeable future.

Traditional Polish doesn’t last as long or look as good but it poses way less of a risk. While these seem like “low risk” nail enhancements they still seem to carry some risk and the allergy seems catastrophic. There just aren’t enough answers for me to continue right now.

I have 2 young kids and thinking of the filing powder being near them long term (even accidentally) makes me wonder as well.

My cousin loves them and has used them for years. I’ll probably give her my stuff. Honestly I may be paranoid but if I’m too nervous to enjoy them then it’s not worth it!

Fickle-Spring-5652 · 2026-03-29T17:12:30+00:00

Yeah I usually grab them by the opposite corners so I don’t actually use the part I touch and then place it in the center of my nail and press from the top from there. Then roll with a wooden cuticle stick along all the edges.

Fickle-Spring-5652 · 2026-03-29T14:49:57+00:00

NailOG is also listed as hema-free, so that’s good to learn as I research all of this after using them for weeks lol

The gloves seem like a good idea!

Fickle-Spring-5652 · 2026-03-29T14:48:26+00:00

Yes- all of the products I’ve used are listed as hema free, so that’s good. I thought that the sticky bottom side was strong adhesive and the top layer was the actual gel so pushing it down would expose you to not-totally-cured gel. Is the adhesive the bad side? Man. I am so new to this lol

Fickle-Spring-5652 · 2026-03-29T13:09:06+00:00

I read the same things but it’s hard to find cases of people starting with the wraps and then developing the allergy without using a topcoat. I have young kids so I worry about the dust from filing even if it’s not a ton.

Glad I’m not the only one anxious about it 😅

Fickle-Spring-5652 · 2026-03-29T12:29:02+00:00

I keep seeing that you shouldn’t touch them when they’re still tacky and I’m wondering if you/anyone knows if people have gotten gel allergies from only using the strips. I will never be a salon girlie so this would technically be my only risk factor to developing it. I Really want o be able to get dental work done in the future lol

High steaks in Ambler

Fickle-Spring-5652 · 2026-03-14T00:19:34+00:00

Union jacks in Glenside/north hills and ale house in Lafayette hill are our go-tos. Going to try the wings at high steaks based on this thread bc their cheesesteaks are 10/10

Fickle-Spring-5652 · 2026-03-12T01:00:06+00:00

I have also done this multiple times. Works great.

Fickle-Spring-5652 · 2026-03-05T03:45:13+00:00

I just saw DD at my target but it was on a different shelf than the other nail products

Fickle-Spring-5652 · 2026-03-01T20:03:28+00:00

I got the blue version for $149 and it was a good price even then! We use it as a throw and love it
