Here at CHERRYCROFT BEAUTY ROOMS we only use NSI Nail Liquids,
NSI Liquids DO NOT contain MMA (Methyl Methacrylate).
There are more and more Salons moving into the UK offering Cheep inferior Acrylic Nails containing MMA since
it was prohibited in 20 States in the US, Canada and New Zealand.
PLEASE educate yourself about MMA by reading the information and watching the YouTube Video below
MMA information
Please think of your Health & Safety and take note of the following information
and be careful which Salons you use, if you are in any doubt then give them a miss for your own sake.
MMA Should NOT be used in Artificial Nail Liquids, MMA is a Monomar and has been tested and found to be poisonous.
Repeated use of MMA Monomers can cause irritation to the Skin, Eyes, Nose, Throat & Lungs these are only a few of the problems that can occur with the use of MMA Acrylic Liquid.
Acrylic Powders contain MMA but these are perfectly safe to use, it is only a problem when the MMA is in liquid form
When MMA Acrylic sets it is very rigid, a nail enhancement without flexibility is potentially very dangerous when knocked and can cause serious, permanent damage to the natural nail plate.
MMA does not adhere well to the natural nail plate, therefore the nail plate has to be roughed up, often with a course electric file to make the acrylic stick but at the same time this weakens the nail plate and allows the harmful chemicals to enter your system
It is only possible (but not safe) to remove MMA nails with and electric file.
It is also not safe to expose the hand in Acetone for the length of time
required (approx 2 hours) to soak off MMA Nails.
DO NOT allow anyone including a Nail technician to remove MMA Nails by trying to break or pry the nails off, this will cause extreme permanent damage to the Natural Nail plate, not to mention severe pain.
How to recognise when a Salon may be using MMA
* Technicians usually wear masks, but some non-MMA users may also wear them.
* Very cheap priced nails that are applied quickly, a good technician using EMA will usually take between approximately 75 to 90 mins
* MMA has a very strong unusual odour
* Products may be in an unlabeled container, usually refilled from large bulk bought MMA product and the technician may have no knowledge of the products they are using, which can have up to 90% MMA content.
* Nails may appear milky or cloudy when set
* MMA nails are extremely hard and cannot be filed or soaked off
If staff in a Salon that are using MMA are wearing a mask for their safety and the client does not, then certainly the client is at risk of exposure to MMA
