Hiya, I don't know how to post links but I've put a few posts re: allergies to acrylic and gel polish you might be able to see them from my profile? If it's acrylic you are using try CJP nail systems (white bottle monomer) as it's HEMA free and has completely stopped my itching and blisters. I'm looking at light elegance for gel polish, again HEMA free. I'm no expert but from what I can gather HEMA is one of the most common allergens when it comes to nails xx

Ive just noticed you are in Malta I don't know about shipping from there but if there is anything HEMA free where you are get a sample kit it could really help xx

Hiya sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you x I'm not sure about gel...I think someone here mentioned brisa (cnd) for allergies but you would need to check. Polygel (nail harmony) is HEMA free. If it's gel polish you require I know that light elegance is hema free. HEMA is the most common allergen as far as I can tell x good luck x
