3, try to choose nail polish with long capillary, which will be easier to average (compare the bristles of different brands of nail polish).

What are the hazards of nail polish?
The solvent components of ordinary nail polish are basically toxic and harmful substances, among which phthalate esters, benzene and formaldehyde are the most powerful, followed by acetone and ethyl acetate. Long-term use is very harmful to human health.
1, yellow and dull nails
Nail polish has a variety of beautiful colors because of the addition of a large number of pigment components, including various mineral pigments and synthetic pigments. These pigments slowly attach to nails, causing them to become darker and dimmer. The darker the color of nail polish, the more obvious the phenomenon of pigment precipitation.

2. Dry, inflamed and prickly fingers
Incomplete disinfection of nail tools will indirectly cause fungal infection between nails. On the other hand, the chemical solvent components in nail polish will irritate the skin around nails, make the skin around the edges of fingers horny and hard, which will easily lead to inflammation, dryness or barbs in the process of manicure, and even lead to paronychia in serious cases.
3. The smell of nail polish makes people dizzy
Some nail polishes contain a lot of acetone and ethyl acetate in order to achieve quick-drying effect. They are characterized by easy volatilization, which produces a dizzy pungent smell (after volatilization, their volume will expand 1000 times), which has a strong stimulating effect on mucous membrane and nervous system.
4, nails are fragile, layered and broken, and the growth is slow.
Continuous application of nail polish will hinder the "normal breathing" of nails and destroy the keratinocytes of nails. Because of the lack of oxygen caused by poor breathing and the chronic corrosion of nail polish, nails naturally become thinner and thinner, easily broken and grow slowly.
5. The stronger the phototherapy nail, the more painful it is.
Phototherapy nail, also known as gel nail, is to mix a certain proportion of photoinitiator A solution in resin nail powder, and under the irradiation of ultraviolet lamp, the gel will produce curing reaction on the nail. Therefore, the adhesion of phototherapy nail polish to nails is greater than that of ordinary nail polish, which requires professional nail polish remover and then polishing, which is more harmful to nails and finger edges than ordinary nail polish.
How to reduce the harm of nail polish to human body?
1, nail polish isolation
Like isolation before makeup, the first step of manicure is to apply base oil to help nails isolate nail polish damage. The base oil contains keratin amino acids, VE and other nourishing ingredients, which helps the nail bed to become more tough, prevents the nail from sinking and breaking, and improves the luster and toughness of the nail surface after nail removal.
2, nail tools regular disinfection
Tweezers, scissors and other appliances for manicure need to be wiped and disinfected regularly with alcohol cotton balls.
3. Softening agent gently exfoliates
Epidermal softener can quickly soften and moisturize the skin at the edge of nails and prevent the generation of barbs. Minimize the damage to finger skin.
4. Reduce the use of quick-drying nail polish
Most people find quick-drying nail polish convenient, but quick-drying nail polish is often volatile, so it has high chemical composition. Professional nail polish products that advocate the use of environmentally-friendly natural nail polish have been tested by national quality inspection institutions, and basically do not contain cheap raw materials harmful to the human body, such as formaldehyde, which is safer to use and minimizes direct damage to the respiratory system.
5. Apply nail polish in a ventilated environment.
After a whole day's volatilization, the influence of the residual smell of nail polish on the respiratory system is naturally greatly weakened before going to bed at night. Choose a large well-ventilated space to disperse the smell of nail polish as soon as possible, reduce excessive inhalation of chemical gases, and avoid discomfort such as dizziness and nausea.
6. Add calcium to your nails
Fragile nails need careful care, and nail polish is needed at this time. Vitamin E-containing calcium formula and protein-intensive formula can effectively accelerate nail thickening, form protective film, strengthen and moisturize nail surface, and increase nail bed toughness. Generally, after 65,438+0 weeks of continuous use, you will find that your nails really get stronger.
