Nails By Pam Kempf

A little work a little play Karissa,

To all of you that thought it would be a cheaper option to do your own nails, grab a cheap kit off Temu/ Amazon or eBay, or better yet buy it for your child for Xmas.
🚫THROW IT IN THE BIN!! 🚫
You’re not qualified, you have no idea of the chemicals and toxic ingredients in these products or how to safely apply them.
We don’t advise you not to do it because we want the money for the booking! We do it because of this⬇️⬇️⬇️
🛑Improper use and overexposure are no joke and can leave permanent damage, especially to your children. 🛑

I got a perfect score on my test yeaaaaa

PLEASE READ
Every town has the cheaper nail salons, running on a walk in basis, giving a full set of acrylic nails at what seems to be a bargain price.........Or is it?

Introducing the not so nice MMA - (methylmethacrylate)

This is a chemical liquid to make some nail extensions.

It is a poisonous substance and a high sensitiser and likely allergen that can cause severe allergic reactions through minimum exposure

It has been banned in many states in Amercia due to the above and in the UK only no-standard salons will use this product. You will usually smell it before you see it!

M.M.A was designed to make dental acrylic, you know, false teeth, dental veneers etc etc, it is safe to be used for this purpose , however it is is completely undeveloped for use in the nail industry.

Basically if you have M.M.A acrylic on your nails you are wearing dental veneers as acrylic nails!

What damage can M.M.A cause

M.M.A causes nail allergies, nail disfigurements and infections (which if left can rot the nail) soreness,complete /partial loss of nail, ridges, respiratory problems and the strong odour can cause asthma attacks. Look below at an example of a ladies nail due to M.M.A, it has totally rotten the nail.

Why is it used

Plain and simple...ITS CHEAP....No professional supplier will sell M.M.A as they couldnt afford the liability. Also M.M.A enhancements rarely break on impact, when have you ever known false teeth to break ?

The damage is done UNDERNEATH the natural nail.

The adhesion of methyl methcrylate nailproducts is relatively poor, forcing the nail technician to overly abrade the nail plate, usually by using some form of an electric drill resulting in excessive thinning and weakening of the natural nail plate. Physical abrasion is the least desirable method for preparing the natural nail because it causes unnecessary damage to the nail plate and leads to client injury. However, it is the only method that works when methyl methacrylate artificial nails are applied.

Nails with MMA are extremely difficult to remove, they are nearly insoluble in acetone and other solvents. Most acrylics that are made of MMA can take upto 2 hours to remove and will resemble sticky slimey chewing gum when in acetone.

EMA - the safe product used in all standard salons will usually dissolve on the nail plate and be easily removed in around 30 minutes

Classic MMA acrylic......... Notice the yellow discolouration on the nails and the acrylic itself!!

So, How can you tell if your nail extensions contain M.M.A?

M.M.A nail enhancements are very very hard with a yellow tinge a "fishy" odour and a grainy texture. The enhancemnets are usually finished by airbrushing the tip white instead of using white acrylic. M.M.A nail also only bonds to the natural nail with the use of a electric drill.

This is what our profession cost us
