Polymers for artificial nails first appeared in the 1970s. Before then there were porcelain ones but these were brittle. The new polymer nails were much better and they could be trimmed with scissors and smoothly shaped with a nail file. Nail extensions are the more technical side of nail culture and they have been made from various plastics but are usually either polyacrylate or the copolymer ABS, short for poly (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene), which has the stiffness and flexibility very similar to those of natural fingernails. [Pg.32]

Outbreaks of disease have been caused by those with artificial fingernails. In 2004 there was an outbreak of Klebsiella pneumoniae among premature babies in a US intensive care unit, caused by bacteria from a nurse s artificial nails. A few years previously it was Pseudomonas aeruginosa that threatened several newborn babies in a New York hospital and this was traced to the same cause. In Canada three patients who had had surgery on their spinal cord developed Candida infections of the spinal disks and this was traced to an operating theatre technician who had artificial nails. An intensive care unit in Oklahoma City saw 16 patients die as a result of contracting Pseudomonas aeruginosa from two nurses who had artificial nails. Thankfully such outbreaks are now extremely rare. [Pg.34]

For many women, painted nails and artificial nails are harmless affectations that give pleasure and there is no need to worry about them. While their wearers may not acknowledge their debt to chemistry, they nevertheless are gentle reminders of the way chemistry can help us feel better about ourselves. Sadly many still see chemicals as an everpresent danger and worry unnecessarily. The following item may serve to assure them that the risks to health are negligible. [Pg.34]

If accidentally ingested (swallowed), chemicals found in acetonitrile-based products that are used to remove artificial nails can produce cyanide. [Pg.173]

Nail removal can be accomplished by soaking in acetone for about 15 min. Many artificial nail removers contain acetonitrile, which has caused deaths in children who accidentally ingested the nail remover because the containers did not have safety caps (Caravati and Litovitz 1988). Methacrylic acid, used in primers, is very corrosive, causing chemical burns in children who handle them (Woolf and Shaw 1998). Accidental poisoning may be a problem when manicurists practice these techniques in their homes or store chemicals at home and when consumers use these materials (Potter et al. 1988). Acetone cannot be used to remove photobonded nails, and this is a disadvantage if contact allergies develop (Baran and Schoon 1998). [Pg.896]

Nail elongators are products intended to lengthen nails. These have become extremely popular. In earlier compositions, polymerization was conducted by mixing monomers, oligomers, and catalysts on the nail (49). More recently, nail elongation is achieved by adhering a piece of nonwoven nylon fabric (referred to as nail wrap) to the nail with a colorless lacquer. This process may be repeated until the desired naU thickness has been reached. After shaping, the artificial nail is further decorated. [Pg.38]

Tentative Final Monograph published for skin-bleaching products (FR, 1982), whereas this compound is not allowed in the EU framework as a bleaching agent because of its harmful side-effects (see further on) since the 24th adaptation (Commission Directive 2000/6/EC) of the EU Cosmetics Directive came into effect. Since then, under the EU Cosmetics Directive, it is allowed to be used only as hair-dying agent or in artificial nail systems under strict conditions of use. However, it may be used under medical prescription for treatment of skin spots, where these hydroquinone-based products are considered as pharmaceuticals instead of cosmetics. HQMM is also allowed by the EU Cosmetics Directive to be used in artificial nail systems under strict conditions of use, whereas HQME and HQMB are forbidden in cosmetic products. In Japan, the use of HQMB is also forbidden for cosmetic use (MHW, 2000). [Pg.132]
