I’ve often wondered about the health of these nail artists and women who have their nails dressed regularly. The fumes from the polyurethane and epoxy finishes are quite toxic anc carcinogenic. I’ve seen a few wearing paper masks and one or two wearing better charcoal masks, but I never see the customers wearing anything. They should be wearing rebreather masks to remove the toxic fumes. Then, you have all these women’s hands being exposed to direct UV light to cure the lacquers. That cannot be good for you.

"Takano, who is credited as the inventor of pressed flower nail art, has spent half of her life helping her clients express their individuality through their fingers and toes, letting their nails speak on their behalf."

So what does plain pink represent? lol

Can you do what she does?

Who cares what she does, she uses her skills to make people happy. Don't be so bitter.
