“…9,17 However, currently, there is an increased demand solely for cosmetic purposes. 9 In accordance with this, in our subjects the primary aim of application was to have a long-lasting manicure or cosmetically acceptable long nails. In contrast, a limited number of participants preferred ANMS to cover dystrophic nails.…”

BackgroundArtificial nail modelling systems (ANMS) pose a significant risk for nail stylists and their clients regarding acrylate sensitization, which might jeopardize the use of acrylate‐containing medical devices.ObjectivesTo evaluate the frequency of artificial nail practices among female healthcare workers (HCWs) compared with controls and assess ANMS‐related side effects.MethodsIn this comparative, cross‐sectional, single‐centre study, a face‐to‐face interview with 200 female HCWs and 200 age‐matched female dermatology patients (controls) was conducted regarding the use of ANMS between March and November 2023.ResultsAmong 400 participants (median age: 25), 85 (21.3%) have applied ANMS at least once. The prevalence of ANMS application was significantly higher in HCWs (n = 54/200, 27%) compared with controls (n = 31/200, 15.5%) (p < 0.05). Long‐lasting nail polish was the most commonly preferred technique (n = 82/85, 96.5%). ANMS were mainly performed in nail studios by nail stylists (n = 79/85, 92.9%), while three participants were using home kits. Nail brittleness was the most frequently reported side effect (n = 19/85, 22.4%). No case of allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) was detected.ConclusionsThe popularity of ANMS among young female HCWs is growing. This striking trend might further put these individuals not only at risk of medical device‐related adverse events but also occupational ACD.

Ultraviolet nail lamps are becoming increasingly popular, however, the safety of their use remains controversial. The following article directly responds to recently published literature data and aims to determine the viability of human keratinocytes irradiated by a UV nail-drying machine. Cells were exposed to 365–405 nm wavelength UV light emitted by a nail drying machine in two time variants: 4 and 20 min, with and without sunscreen cream SPF50 protection, and compared to the untreated control. Compared to the control, cell viability after irradiation for 4 min decreased insignificantly (p < 0.1), however for 20 min decreased by 35% (p < 0.0001). Furthermore, cells with sunscreen protection compared to those without showed significantly increased viability, regardless of time-variant (p < 0.0001). The study shows that 4-min irradiation does not significantly reduce the viability of human keratinocytes and the time of 20 min significantly alters the research results compared to 4 min, which corresponds to real conditions. The results suggest that typical manicure exposure time does not significantly affect keratinocyte viability, which could increase the risk of developing skin cancers. Despite the above results, it is recommended to use sunscreen protection on your hands during the procedure, which significantly increases the viability of keratinocytes during ultraviolet nail lamp radiation.
