Abstract
The soaring demand for acrylic nails has resulted in a rapid increase in the frequency of allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) to (meth)acrylates1,2 . However, traditional nail varnish remains widely used. Nail varnish is a mixture of film formers and include nitrocellulose, adipic acid/neopentyl glycol/trimellitic anhydride copolymer (AA), and phthalic anhydride/trimellitic anhydride/glycols copolymer (PA).
