Ladies - something to be aware of when using budget nail salon or nail techs offering reduced price services. Many UK budget nail bars are using MMA, this may cause permanent nail damage and severe allergic reactions! Always make sure your salon is using well known brands which are clearly labelled (we use leading brands CND and OPI at BodySense). MMA is not yet illegal in the UK but is is banned by the FDA in the US. Why should MMA not be used? There are four main reasons: * MMA nail products do not adhere well to the nail plate. To make these products adhere, nail technicians often shred up (etch) the surface of the nail. This thins the nail plate and makes it weaker. * MMA creates the hardest and most rigid nail enhancements, which makes them very difficult to break. When jammed or caught, the overly filed and thinned natural nail plate will often break before the MMA enhancement, leading to serious nail damage. * MMA is extremely difficult to remove. Since it will not dissolve in product removers, it is usually pried from the nail plate, creating still more damage. *The FDA says dont use it! This is clearly the most important reason. The FDA bases their prohibition on the large number of consumer complaints resulting from the use of MMA nail enhancements in the late 70s and they continue to maintain this position today. Please choose your nail tech wisely!
