Safer Pedicures for Clients with Diabetes

19.07.2024

Treating diabetics with pedicures requires special consideration and caution due to the unique health challenges associated with diabetes. People with diabetes often have reduced blood flow to their extremities and may have nerve damage (neuropathy) in their feet, which can impair sensation. These conditions make them more susceptible to infections and less likely to feel irritation, pain, or injury, which can lead from minor issues to severe complications.

We want as many of you as possible to try our Apex Build series because we are seeing far too many HEMA-free bottle builder systems that encourage nail technicians to perform aggressive prep with low grit files for product adhesion. Unfortunately, this not only damages the natural nail plate in the long run but also ruins further chances of better adhesion due to the damaged dorsal layer of the nail plate, which offers the best adhesion between the natural nail plate and any artificial coating. Additionally, it doesn't guarantee good results as most of the highly acclaimed HEMA-free builders are simply formulated too rigid for their main purpose, which is natural nail overlays.

Sterilisation und teure Maniküre-Werkzeuge

16.02.2024

Entgegen der populären Marketingbehauptungen bieten Titanbeschichtungen keine überlegenen hygienischen Vorteile:

Achtung Nageltechniker: Fallen Sie nicht in die übliche Falle!

Dieses weit verbreitete Problem resultiert oft aus unzureichender Schulung durch zahlreiche Marken.

Glitter Gel Polish: Mikroplastik?

16.10.2023

Am 25. September 2023 hat die EU-Kommission die EU REACH-Beschränkung für Mikroplastik eingeführt, was einen bedeutenden Schritt im Kampf gegen die Mikroplastikverschmutzung darstellt. Da die EU-Kosmetikvorschriften mit denen des Vereinigten Königreichs übereinstimmen und diese Initiative eine Hinwendung zu "grüneren Entscheidungen" darstellt, ist es sehr wahrscheinlich, dass das Vereinigte Königreich nachziehen wird. Welche Auswirkungen hat dies also auf Gel-Nagellack oder UV/LED-härtbare Glitzerprodukte? Wie immer halten wir Sie informiert.

Was ist eine hypoallergene Formel?!

05.07.2023

Besorgt über HEMA und Nagelallergien? Es ist erwähnenswert, dass viele Marken den Einsatz anderer Monomere verstärkt haben, um HEMA zu ersetzen und der Nachfrage nach HEMA-freien Produkten gerecht zu werden. Allerdings birgt dieser Ansatz auf lange Sicht potenzielle Herausforderungen.

Product Adhesion | Acidity| Nail Prep

06.01.2023

Adhesion - a term we often hear in the nail industry and rightly so. Poor product adhesion is the number one reason for product lifting. It is also a common misconception that a product's adhesion can only be "formulated" by a manufacturer.
