As both EMA and MMA were banned by the EEC for use as nail emhancements as long ago as 1996; It doesn't seem very prudent to me to bring either product to the attention of Health and Safety Officers.
Although the law has never been implemented in the UK, some european countries have followed the directive. (It applies to fibreglass, silk and gel too, as resins, glues and gels also contain banned substances)
This has never been an issue between EMA and MMA. The real issue is price, not the price differential between the two products (in manufacturing terms there is very little price difference between the two products) rather the price charged by Oriental Nail Technicians and their European counterparts. Once we had a car industry and an electronics industry, now both are firmly rooted in the far east. Why? Because of quality, reliability and most of all price! We must compete on price!
