ALLERGIC REACTION TO PRODUCT? ⚠️ There's A FIX! 

I have allergy to nail products because I did my own nails for a long time and would get it all over my skin all the time, so my skin gave up... it’s called over exposure reaction. Because I over exposed my skin to gel product it caused reaction 4.5 years later. I learned to get products from quality controlled places not cheap product from countries who have no quality control and to never let the product touch my skin at all, always leave small margin, use gloves on both hands and the one I’m working on I cut the tips off so I can work on the nails one hand at a time. since then no allergic reactions.

I'm impressed at how long those lasted! Any time I've done nail stickers, even the semi-cured gel ones, they've started to lift after a few days.

This video came at a perfect time 😭😭 I’m allergic to nail products, which makes me so sad since it’s such a fun hobby of mine

Loved them...and such a great tip with using the orange stick to place them right to the cuticle. ❤️

Gorgeous! That looked so easy to apply. I'm going to have to try that out. Thanks for doing this and showing us what they looked like after they have been on for awhile. It shows that there is alternative that can still make your nails look good and last as long! Much love to you from Detroit, MI xoxo 😘 ❤

I am so proud she had the patience to let her nails "rest", they are beautiful. The nails do not look irritated at all.

Just fabulous! I’m amazed how easy the stickers can be applied…looks so beautiful

Wow I have never seen this before. Thank you for sharing this. I learned something new thank you. This is a beautiful set of nails.

I absolutely love the concept but it’s got to be so hard for someone to do at home on their own. You do such amazing work great job.

Thank you so much for all the tips to put nail stickers 😻😻😻😻😻😻

I found a way to do press ons without having a reaction, FINALLY, YAY! After 10 years of getting acrylics, I became allergic (I found out in 2017). My allergy has progressively got bad. I cannot get acrylics of any kind, gel polish, press on nails, and most recently found out that I can't get lash extensions- and I found out the hard way by ending up in the ER. I also cannot even be in the same salon where people are getting acrylics or using gel polish because I developed an allergy to the particles (and I went in with a mask during COVID). I was SO hopeless until recently. I actually found and tested some products to which I had NO reaction to and found a way to do press on's and make them last (2-3 weeks!). And it involves using nail guards- . I recommend these for anyone who is also not allergic and just gets their nails done regularly. This method also ensures that no product is touching your skin (please be careful to keep the product on the nail and do not get it on the skin). Things needed: - Nail File - Acetone/nail dehydrator - Cotton Balls/Cotton Pads - Orly Bonder (Rubberized Coat) or any bonder of your choice (some bonders have acrylates in them so check ingredients to ensure they don't. Orly does not contain any acrylates) - Dashing Diva Nail Guard Kit (optional- bought at Sally's or Online on their website) *do NOT use the prep pad with the set, as it contains acrylates. - Nail adhesive tabs (I like the Kiss Tab To Go Super Adhesive Tabs) - Nail Glue of your choice (I like Kiss brand but I also saw that Dashing Diva also has the Fast Bond nail glue that I heard was good too) - Press on nails of your choice. Steps: 1) Slightly buff nails with nail file. Also, slighty buff the inside of the press on nails too (the area that matches up to where it will go on over the nail) 2) Dehydrate nails with acetone and cotton pad/cotton ball. Do the same with the press on nails where it will go over your natural nail. 3) Use 1 coat of Orly Bonder over each of your nails. 4) Apply a strip of Dashing Diva Nail Guards to your nail. One side will stick to your nail, the other side will NOT be sticky. File down as needed to fit your nail. 5) This is where the adhesive tabs come in- apply the adhesive tab to your nail. I try to focus it on the middle, as they usually do not cover the entire nail for me. *It is optional but you can apply one tiny micro drop of nail glue and then the adhesive tab over it just to secure the tab to the nail. Ensure that if you use the nail glue, it goes in the middle of your nail and is a TINY drop (I mean like micro) so that it does not come in contact with your skin or cuticles, especially once you put the tab on and press the nail on. However, I would recommend patch testing with this method. 6) On top of the Adhesive tab, apply a tiny dot (not even a full drop) of nail glue in the middle of the adhesive tab/nail, ensuring that it does not touch your skin, the cuticle, or would spill over your nail onto your skin. I like to let the drop sit for a second and slightly get tacky. 7) Apply the nail on top of the adhesive tab with the tiny drop of glue. Press and hold the nail for about 30 seconds. I tend to do my press on nails at night, after I clean and shower to ensure that they have plenty of time to set over night without getting wet, having to wash your hands and etc. They last WAY longer that way. Also, if you don't want to do all of the steps above, you can just do the bonder, adhesive tab, and drop of nail glue on the tab and then the press on nail. That method worked good and the nail lasted me over 2 weeks as well, I wash dishes everyday and of course, shower, and bathe my kids. The nail didn't come loose at all. The dashing diva strips really protect the nail though. I hope this helps those of you who are in desperate need to be girly again and be able to get your nails done! Also, I hope this helps a nail tech who has a client that comes across the same issues I did. I am considering making a video covering this and going over all of the steps.

That is so smart using an orange stick for placement. I will need to use that tip next time. Thank you.

Oh those look absolutely fabulous!!!!!

I am alergic to gel products but I still use it by been extremely careful. I do things by step and use gloves and anything I can to protect myself from been in contact to the gel. So far so good, only downside is that it takes me so much time to do them, that I take 2 days doing them, but I got my beautiful nails nevertheless and I just take it easy.

Thank you for this video.

You are a genius… by using the strip stickers to measure. Love it!

I used to be able to use nail stickers almost exclusively, cause I found them easier and mess-free compared to nail polish. After taking a year break every sticker I try to apply wrinkles up and doesn't adhere to my nails. Thought the stickers are compromised, but I'm gonna try the orange stick technique here, see if that helps!

I used Dashing Diva nail stickers before I started doing my own gel nails. Highly recommend them.

idk why people keep reminding her that’s it’s gonna be hard to do in any aspect. I don’t recall her saying that it was just readily easy without some learning and it definitely at some point felt impossible for her to do nails as well but with practice and patience for yourself you can make beautiful nails 💅🏼

Great option!

I had an allergic reaction to gel in August and it was brutal. I'm going to just stay away from any gel and stick to nail lacquer. I am contemplating trying acrylic for some little extensions (I was using builder gel and forms for my extensions when I had the allergy) but I'm a little afraid of being allergic to acrylic too.

Wow! I hope there's available nail stickers here in my place. Would love to try

Love this but what to do if you are allergic and want to extend nails.?

Do you remove them by soaking in acetone?

I’m allergic to the liquid that’s sometimes used for acrylic nails. When the nail tech uses the MMA liquid (the one used for dental procedures) the fingers get puffy, red, irritated, itch and hurt so badly it’s unbearable. This lasts for a week and then my fingers peel. When the nail tech uses the EMA liquid I don’t seem to have an issue. I guess here in Southern California people don’t really have any problems with it. I ask what liquid is used and tell them why before I get my nails done at a new place.

I know this is about a client who’s allergic but would sandwiching the sticker between a gel base and top coat extend its longevity? What do you think I’m curious. Thanks!

The result looks so good and beautiful! What kind of top coat did you use? Id it a special one, is it air dry or in lamp? And please let us know how do you remove it, nail drill bit maybe... Thank you so much for answering

i know how hard it is, i have allergy myself and like to use gel polish and even tho i try so hard, it somehow will find my skin. but even tho you where very carefull, you still touched the skin. did your client had a reaction to that? maybe use a thicker top coat so it wont sink to the sides? :) oh and maybe you can answer me this question👀. do you know if you have the same allergic reaction on acrylic nails as for gel nails? thank you for this video:)

This is great! Would love to see how you remove them… Since they stay on so well, do you still use acetone or just wedge an orange wood stick under there? Would love to see how you remove them! Thanks

Wow, they were so long lasting!

Have you tried any of Madam Glam gel polishes? They're 9 free vegan. I've not tried any but I see them all over the place

How do you remove the nails? Wouldnt the gel base touch the skin during the removal soak? And does it have to be a base coat top or can i use top coat?

What if I’m the mail tech and I have an allergy now what do I do I need some ideas please

Wow stickers lasted a whole month omg 😍😍😍

I wish you could do my nails and have all the products

Hi

I LOVE YOU

I use Color Street nail strips. They are real polish and curve completely to my nails. The vinyl types leave hard ridges that hold ick. With color street I can use with gel base and top coat for strength. They are soft so no rough file to remove excess.

I use them often on top of my extended nails. I love using them when I have no extra time. Plus they are great to use when you aren’t artistic.🥰

ik i have a gel allergy and it comes on my hands, so i thought it would be alright on my feet. it wasnt. dont use it on ur feet if u have a gel allergy

First stop with nail drills, the cause the most damage, nail file are just fine

I've been using Color Street nail stickers for about a year and a half! Love them!

does the client have clubbed nails?

Tried this and still had an allergic reaction :(

If one is allergic of product like gel or similar is allergic to hema and di-hema .. so this product is not appropriate.

Out of all the designs why she choose that one 😭

Check your very last comment. Offer some advice to that 7 year old child .

plllzzzz give me nails I am 7 years old plssssss I will donet money ok

these nails would've looked much better in square. oval shape should only be done on long nails.
