Hi

I'd put money on it not being the dust but the cyanoacrylates in the glue you use to stick on tips. It's also in lash glue. I can't have lashes anymore because 5 hours later I get severe flu symptoms that last a week. I don't do acrylics for this reason either.

The cyanoacrylate messes with mucous membranes as its attracted to water - hence eyes, nose and itchy mouth.

You could try wearing a mask but it might not help.
