    All About Acrylate Allergies with Dr. Brandon Adler

    Dr. Brandon Adler, a dermatologist specializing in contact dermatitis, discusses the topic of acrylate allergies in nail products. He explains the symptoms, diagnosis, and severity of these allergies, highlighting the impact they can have on individuals' quality of life. Dr. Adler also addresses the issue of cross-reactivity and the potential consequences of acrylate allergies in other products and industries. He emphasizes the need for regulation and awareness to protect consumers and suggests further research on the ingredients used in HEMA-free formulations. The conversation provides valuable insights into the complexities of acrylate allergies and the importance of informed decision-making. Takeaways Acrylate allergies can cause a range of symptoms, including itching, blistering, and nail damage, and can significantly impact individuals' quality of life. Cross-reactivity is a concern with acrylate allergies, as exposure to one type of acrylate can trigger a reaction to others. Regulation and awareness are needed to protect consumers from the risks of acrylate allergies, and further research is necessary to understand the ingredients used in nail products. Hypoallergenic claims and labeling can be misleading, as there is no standardized definition or regulation for the term.Community Links Nail Allergies Disease and Disorder Facebook Group30 Days To Healthy Nails.  Get full access to Pointed & Polished: The True Path to Healthy Nails at pointedandpolished.substack.com/subscribe

    The state of nail education is a mess...

    Intro to my education series - Emphasizing that it's not just about creating beautiful nails but understanding infection control, cleaning protocols, and recognizing nail diseases. It's time to challenge the notion that licensing is unnecessary. I share my frustration with the disregard for these essential aspects and call for higher, universal standards in nail education.The Polished Nail Pro Community Get full access to Pointed & Polished: The True Path to Healthy Nails at pointedandpolished.substack.com/subscribe

    Pointed & Polished Episode 5: Navigating Nail Allergies: A Candid Conversation with Professional Nail Tech Delia Caruso

    @deliasnailstudio on instagramNail Allergies Disease and Disorders CommunityToday I have a chat with Delia Caruso of Delia’s Nail Studio. I met Delia through my amazing supportive facebook group and I always appreciate her sharing any resource she comes across. She has leveraged her extensive knowledge and research of nail allergies to benefit her business and offer tailored services to her loyal clients.  Like myself, Delia was left to do her own research on her own nail allergies when there really wasn't a lot of information and awareness out there. Yet has built herself a very successful career as a nail tech and content creator.  I hope you enjoy our chat. Takeaways: - Whether you are a licensed professional or DIY - we all start at the same place. So it’s important that we all follow the same steps no matter what products we have access to. - Nail products are constantly evolving and more is being offered to us these days.  So it’s more important than ever to know what you are working with and seek all the information before trying out a new product for yourself. Do your research - that means understanding where the product is coming from and how to use it properly. Any time we stray from the system, we risk a breakdown and if that happens, you may not have the support you need. - Eliminating HEMA can be an option, but it’s important to know your allergy to truly know what products are best for you. The further your acrylate allergy progresses, it affects more than just nail coatings including medical and dental procedures.- Allergies can manifest in all different ways. Be aware of anything that doesn’t feel right when you are learning. Beauty is pain no longer applies. If you feel any pain or respiratory issues, take these as early warning signs.  - As always, seek quality content and find a nail tech who can best understand and serve your needs.

Maybe you start by just committing to wear gloves every time you wash the dishes.  The best thing that could happen is that you love it and stay consistent with it and then you’ve done something good for yourself. It simply  cannot hurt to try.Today I sat down and recounted all the signs I received that help me reinforce this message in the last week or so. I’m so grateful for the help and I look forward to showing up for you all next time.

Going natural even for a short time can have some long term benefits to your health if you suffer from acrylate allergies. Takeaways:1. Mindset plays an important role in our healing process.

Trust me when I say that you will be thankful that you did.2. The option to go natural can be beautiful! I believe that some of you may find it freeing.  I know for myself like many of you I never thought I could grow my natural nails, but you may be surprised how quickly they can grow long and strong and you can really learn to love them.  I still find myself switching back n forth and do appreciate the option.  Having healthy skin and nails has boosted my confidence 10-fold and I wish the same for you.  3.
