The first three types are less toxic, the latter are volatile and more dangerous. In addition, the substance used to get artificial nails often contains acetonitrile or methyl cyanid . which can cause allergy and irritant reactions to users.

Most chemicals used in nail care are approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). But in many countries, the control is too loose, so there have been unexpected effects.

Benzene , a very good solvent in detergents, is one of the most toxic organic solvents for users and nail polishers. This substance evaporates very quickly and is absorbed immediately through the respiratory tract, which is stored in the liver, spinal cord and fat cells.

Bone marrow is the organ that has the most toxic effects of benzene that hinders growth and cell regeneration. Benzene is toxic in the nerves, which makes people dizzy, tired and lose their sanity. If continuous inhalation of this substance for a long time will be deficient in red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets. Leukemia, non-Hodgkin lymphoma can occur after 10-15 years.

This high amount of volatile inhalation will be very harmful to the lungs, feeling drunk, losing balance. Toluene is also a danger because it will gradually be used to replace benzene. This substance can be addictive if inhaled a lot.

Toluene is slightly soluble in water and quickly distributed to the tissues of brain, liver and kidney cells immediately after inhalation. This substance directly affects the nerves, especially for pregnant women. In the process of manicuring, the epidermis is cut or peeled off the nail, agents that cause infection from non-invasive tools.

Although the methymethacrylate found in nail products has been banned and replaced with chemicals such as ethylmetharylate, the FDA still recommends that they can still be harmful. The most common complications in using false nails are infections, fungal infections.

The reason is that artificial nails make thin peels of real nails, creating a loophole for dirt to accumulate. Acrylic resin makes nail bed red, edema, and pain. From here, bacteria and fungi develop into real nails. If not regularly cleaning the damaged skin area, the infection will be worse, even necrosis of the fingers. Many cases of nail flaking, if not regrowth can not be as before.
