*DONT BELIVE EVERYTHING YOU READ*

I’ve seen so many posts the last few days spreading misinformation.

GEL POLISH IS 𝗡𝗢𝗧 BANNED IN EUROPE...

One single ingredient used in gel polish (TPO) was banned in Europe on 1st September. It’s expected the UK will follow suit next year.

🚨𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗧𝗣𝗢?🚨

TPO stands for 𝗧𝗿𝗶𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝘆𝗹𝗯𝗲𝗻𝘇𝗼𝘆𝗹 𝗗𝗶𝗽𝗵𝗲𝗻𝘆𝗹𝗽𝗵𝗼𝘀𝗽𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗢𝘅𝗶𝗱𝗲.

It’s a photoinitiator, which means it helps gels and other UV-cured products harden when exposed to UV or LED light.

Without a photo initiator gel polish wouldn’t cure properly and would stay soft or sticky.

🚨 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗜𝘀 𝗧𝗣𝗢 𝗕𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗕𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗡𝗮𝗶𝗹 𝗚𝗲𝗹𝘀?🚨

💡 A 2020 study in Germany tested very high 𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗹 doses of TPO on rats.

⚠️ The study found potential links to reproductive toxicity in male rats at those extreme levels. But here’s the key point:

✨ 𝗡𝗮𝗶𝗹 𝗴𝗲𝗹𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗻 or used in this way.
✨ The study does not reflect how nail products are actually used in real life.

Regulators often act with caution, which is why TPO is being phased out – but this does not mean your gels are unsafe when applied properly.

💅 𝗦𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝗻𝗼 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗰 - it’s simply an ingredient swap to keep products in line with updated safety standards. So as long as you go to a reputable trained tech who uses reputable products you can still enjoy your nails with peace of mind.

✨️ Thanks to the 𝗮𝗺𝗮𝘇𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱 I have the pleasure to work for, Nailchemy Limited, alot of my products have already been reformulated over the past year in anticipation of this change, and no longer contain HEMA or TPO.

You may have seen the consumer safety checklist circulating on social media the last few days in relation to UV Gel Polish. I have shown below how I meet each criteria. Your safety is always my priority! 💜

I’m sure everyone has seen the scaremongering in the news today in regards to Gel nails.

As a qualified and insured nail technician, and tutor who teaches nail services, registered with the guild of tutors, I take training and safety VERY seriously.

When using good quality products and when you are FULLY trained, there is minimal risk. (I say minimal because there is always a chance for an allergic reaction with ANY product, I mean I’m allergic to tomatoes after all!)

If anyone has any questions I’m happy to answer them, safety will always be my priority.
