Now that it's summer you might be tempted to try a fresh, new way to
beautify your nails. Nail gel is the latest thing. It reportedly
doesn't chip as easily as nail polish alone and is often billed as a
"more natural alternative" to acrylics. But Consumer Reports says to
beware of those new gel treatments because some treatments touted as
gels include acrylics, which can contain chemicals that can be
harmful.
In fact, some of the acrylics used with gels can be associated with
fingernail damage and deformity. And you may not realize it, but most
of the ingredients used in nail products are not tested for safety by
the Food and Drug Administration before being sold.
Just a day after Jane Ubell-Meyer got what she was told was a gel
manicure, she was in agony, suffering what seemed to be electric
shocks whenever her thumb touched anything. After examining Jane,
neurologist Orly Avitzur, who is also a medical consultant for
Consumer Reports, suspected the chemicals in the manicure. Gel
manicures can involve rough or painful filing and Dr. Avitzur says
that when she examined Jane's thumb, she saw that it had been scraped
raw by an electrical file. She believes that Jane's "gel manicure"
contained acrylics and the chemicals seeped in and caused nerve
damage.
Dr. Avitzur says that after looking into gel manicures, she recommends
sticking with good old-fashioned nail polish. If you're patient and
get several coats, nail polish can last a week or more.
