Like everyone here I adore nail colour, and have been painting mine since I was 7!
In recent years I've slowly developed an allergy where my nose runs profusely. By coat #3 its dripping into my mouth!! Yuk!
It happens with all different brands and must be the solvents.
Since studying beauty I'm considering which areas to specialise in, but hesitant to do nails in case I make it worse.
I did go to the doctors about my hayfever /pollution fever where I was fobbed off with some steroid spray. Not keen to take more chemicals -would rather avoid/ reduce cause.
So my main question is - are there any other Nail Technicians here who suffer from this? If so - how do you work around it? Is there anything that prevents or lessens it?
I had idea to place a spray tan extractor on my desk, but imagine this would be noisy!
Face masks help, but not that effective against the fumes.
It won't stop me painting my own nails (in well ventilated areas), but not sure whether its a good idea to work full time & invest in these products I'm allergic to.
Thanks
