What is UV Acrylic? Does Star make it? I have a client who was allergic to CND monomer. I thought it might be the primer. I put Tammy Taylor on her no problems yet... I LOVE this group. It's nice to know it's the monomer.

Great suggestion Karen on the spot test. However, you all should know that won't detect allergies 100%. If your client has been wearing your product and then BAM one day she is allergic, that is a different type of reaction. That's an over exposure allergy as opposed to "my body is allergic to an ingredient for life". She could break out at the finger tips and then nothing on the arm. When it comes to Acrylic it is almost always the monomer that causes the allergy. I've found products with more HEMA (chem to help with adhesion) are what make the customers exposure allergic. The more HEMA in the liquid, (usually) the more violet dye is in the liquid to counter act the Yellowing from adding all the HEMA. Years ago, I had a similar exposure problem with UV Cured Acrylic. My 6 watt bulb (the days when 9watt were brand new) wasn't sufficient in curing my acrylic completely. Even though you are not touching the clients skin with the product, fumes can be enough to make them nutty if they are allergic from exposure. Luckily for me, changing to a 4 x 9 watt lamp solved my problem (no more microscopic uncured acrylic). The trick will be finding a monomer that the client can tolerate. But the test will have to take place on a nail. You may want to try a UV Cure Acrylic on her and cut down her exposure time. UV acrylic cures in 2-3 mins. Tradition acrylic needs to cure through evaporation and the chemical reaction...48 hours is the total time. It's a suggestion...ultimately, it'll take some testing to know what works for her.
