Side effects of gel nail polish: a systematic review
Gel nail polish (GNP) has recently gained worldwide popularity. We have conducted a comprehensive summary of the complications of GNP through a literature search using PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases to identify eligible papers. Complications were divided into mechanical and traumatic nail disorders, allergic contact dermatitis (ACD), and UV-induced lesions. A total of 12 contributions were included, identifying 88 patients, all of whom were women. Six of the reports described ACD (62 cases, 70,5%), three concerned mechanical nail damage (23 cases, 26,1%), and three reported UV-induced skin lesions (3 cases, 3,4%).
