@deliasnailstudio on instagramNail Allergies Disease and Disorders CommunityToday I have a chat with Delia Caruso of Delia’s Nail Studio. I met Delia through my amazing supportive facebook group and I always appreciate her sharing any resource she comes across. She has leveraged her extensive knowledge and research of nail allergies to benefit her business and offer tailored services to her loyal clients.  Like myself, Delia was left to do her own research on her own nail allergies when there really wasn't a lot of information and awareness out there. Yet has built herself a very successful career as a nail tech and content creator.  I hope you enjoy our chat. Takeaways: - Whether you are a licensed professional or DIY - we all start at the same place. So it’s important that we all follow the same steps no matter what products we have access to. - Nail products are constantly evolving and more is being offered to us these days.  So it’s more important than ever to know what you are working with and seek all the information before trying out a new product for yourself. Do your research - that means understanding where the product is coming from and how to use it properly. Any time we stray from the system, we risk a breakdown and if that happens, you may not have the support you need. - Eliminating HEMA can be an option, but it’s important to know your allergy to truly know what products are best for you. The further your acrylate allergy progresses, it affects more than just nail coatings including medical and dental procedures.- Allergies can manifest in all different ways. Be aware of anything that doesn’t feel right when you are learning. Beauty is pain no longer applies. If you feel any pain or respiratory issues, take these as early warning signs.  - As always, seek quality content and find a nail tech who can best understand and serve your needs.
