Can anyone help please? My mum has been doing her own gel nails for about 6 months with a basic UV lamp and Blue SKy gelish (no, I know there are "better brands" but I don't want to enter that debate).
The last two times she has applied gels, she has got very sore, swollen and itchy fingers, a few hours later.
She says it is like sunburn but when I google this, I cannot find others experiencing this. All the posts are saying that it is allergy to the acrylates in the polish and it doesn't seem to matter whether people are using Shellac, or cheaper brands like CND or Blue SKy, as the basic ingredients are similar.
It is not the acetone as she put it on last night without using acetone.
She wonders if her tubes need replacing? she has had them about 6 months and does her nails maybe 3-4 times per month.
Antihistamines and hydrocortisone or eumovate ointment help ease it.
Any ideas would be great. Thanks for reading!
