yellow tips

[mandy]

I done a set of acrylis (whit tips) on a client, she then went on the sun bed and they have turned yellow! can anybody tell me why this is.

Hi

I use a UV Shield once i've done my acrylics, this stops them from yellowing.

Hope this helps

hi, thanks for the reply i will give it a go

i have a sunbed at home and if you go on it for to long it will turn them yellow, do what the other lady suggested and you will be fine

There could be another way to stop the yellowing - buy better tips!!! There are plenty of companies out there whose tips do not yellow under a sunbed!!! If you have bought 500 tips for £25.00 expect this type of thing and others, to happen - I don't know what you have so difficult to say but just a thought!

Certain lotion designed for sunbed use contain tan enhancers these will yellow arcylic........its a dye based ingedient........like coppertan..........
So apply a UV shield and you should be fine................

I have found since i have 2 girls that suntan lotion also causes discolouration to the nails. I'm not sure where i saw this info but i believe that suntan lotions have certain chemicals that have to penetrate the skin to enable the protective cover it gives therefore it can have the same effect on acrylic nails - hence the use of uv shield.
