The "Itch" Explained: Why Press-Ons Are the Solution for Gel Nail Allergies

Introduction
You bought a DIY gel kit online, used it for months, and suddenly... disaster. Your cuticles are red, swollen, and impossibly itchy.
Congratulations, you likely have a Gel Allergy (Contact Dermatitis).
It is a growing epidemic in the beauty world, usually caused by a chemical called HEMA in uncured gel polish. Once you have it, you can never wear liquid gel or acrylics again without a reaction.
But does that mean bare nails forever? No.
At TsukiNails, we welcome allergy refugees every day. Here is why press-ons are the safe alternative you’ve been looking for.

1. The Science: Wet vs. Cured

• The Problem: Allergies are triggered by uncured (wet) methacrylates touching your skin. In salons or DIY kits, if the lamp isn't strong enough, the gel stays partly wet inside, seeping into your skin.

• The Tsuki Solution: Our press-ons are 100% Fully Cured in the factory. The chemical reaction is complete before you ever open the box. No wet monomers ever touch your skin.

2. The "Inert" Plastic Advantage
Once gel is cured, it becomes inert plastic.

• Safety: You can wear a TsukiNail press-on even if you are allergic to the liquid gel it was made from, because the allergen is locked away in the hardened structure. It’s like how you can be allergic to latex liquid but not hard rubber.
