Today, we want to bring the truth to the nail industry and to all of the Manicure Lovers.
To be precise, what we are going to talk about today is "HEMA Free gel polish"
HEMA is one of those words that if you have heard Hema before, It’s kind of those crazy words that’s taken the industry by storm and people will have a huge reaction to it. And a lot of us don’t even know why we have a huge reaction.
Now let’s talk about what Hema is and why Hema could potentially cause problems
Hema, it’s chemical name is 2-Hydroxyethyl methacrylate
So is Hema a necessary component in gels?
Actually Hema is added because it gives us really good adhesion of the natural nail.
Natural nails are made of keratin and keratin protein likes that are carboxylic acids and Hema is sort of a long-chain carboxylic acid with a hydroxyl group on one end.
The OH group on the Hema allows it to be more miscible with water so if you have water on you fingernails, so it doesn’t reject the Hema. Hema is also really good as its seen it only has one functional reactive site for the UV cured systems or acrylic systems. So because it only has one of those carbon-carbon double bonds on one end that’s the methacrylate, because it only has one of those it only can enter into one portion of a die functional reaction. So it becomes a chain terminator. If chains could get too long they can become too rigid or they can become too brittle or just not good adhesion.
So, Hema isn’t inherently a bad thing because it creates great adhesion to the natural nail plate, it could bonds with that. But one of the downsides of Hema is that it can get out of control if it’s not bound within the formula properly, or if you get it on your skin, and when you are applying things that contain monomeric Hema you want to make sure that you avoid skin contact. And that’s why as you may have see on pretty much every label for nail care products says “avoid skin contact”
But there are ways that we can make formulas even safer than having Hema added.
And so if you see Hema on the ingredient list that’s not necessarily a bad thing, but question might come up what’s the concentration of Hema in a systerm. If the product has 40 percent concentration of Hema in a gel polish system, that increases the chance of becoming allergic to the Hema. There is other molecules that we can use that also have good reactions and good adhesion in a natural nail.Take Hema’s sibling HPMA Hydroxypropyl methacrylate has one additional carbon atom in the backbone and that Hydroxypropyl methacrylate is less allergenic. So some products wind up taking something that has 50% Hema to 25%Hema and 25%HPMA. And there’s other monomers can be added in there as well.
The answer is “oligomers”. So how it compares to a monomer?
Oligomer is typically molecule has been built based on the backbone of one of the resins so it’s basically Hema but attached to the Oligomer chain. And oligomer is ten times the size of Hema monomer. As a result, It’s less likely to enter you bloodstream if it comes in contact with your skin, which makes it safer.
So why companies choose to put so much monomer instead of choosing to put more oligomers in their product?
The answer is very simple. Because Hema is very cheap, so with more Hema, the price will be cheaper. Because it reduces the raw material cost. Oligomers on the other hand are mega expensive. Compared to Hema the oligomers are about 10 times the cost.
As for unna, our brand was born with the goal of being 100% HEMA-free, and we tested the most common gel polishes on the market that claim to be HEMA-free. The result is that almost none of them can do so.
We are willing to accept the test from the market and we are confident that we will become the new standard in the nail industry. We are looking for partners and agents all over the world. If you want to start your own business, please contact us and we will help you get started.
Why Gel Nail Polish is better than Regular Nail Polish?
Regular nail polish is always tried and true.
This is a necessity for middle school students to spend the night away, and a staple for the working woman’s outfit planning.
But what about gel nails? What can gel manicure give you that regular nail polish can't give you?
Gel manicure has still quickly become the main product of salons.
Nevertheless, for those who are not sure whether to try new gel polishes, we have collected their benefits for you:
Quick-drying
Gel nail polish is thicker than regular nail polish.
The main feature that distinguishes it from classic manicure is part of the curing application process
because gel nail polish does not dry naturally.
Curing refers to putting the nails under LED or ultraviolet light to activate the chemical process to dry each layer of nail polish.
Considering that the gel nail application has extra time to repair the nail polish,
you can immediately leave your appointment or home application to completely dry the nail.
2. Chip-free
Quick-drying, durable formula, gel polish is hardly broken.
Your gel manicure is very resistant to peeling or stains, and the color will be as bright and shiny as the first day.
3. Durable
Gel polish can be used for at least 2-3 weeks, while regular nail polish will not fall off for a week.
In the case of light application, your gel nails last at least twice as long as normal nail polishes,
but in fact, they can make your nails four to six times the standard.
Take the core ingredient color powder as an example:
when creating nail art, it is sometimes necessary to apply each color layer very thinly,
with a thin multi-layer color overlay that brings an exceptionally soft visual beauty.
The thickness of each layer is so thin that it can only be counted in microns after the color layer dries,
which requires the particles of the color powder to be very finely ground. unna selects German color powder,
processed by ultra-fine grinding process into nano-level color paste, super fine and smooth.
Pastel nail polish can form a variety of combinations, try it out, maybe you can combine it with unexpected and breathtaking works! For more infprmation about the Color Nail Gel, please read the following words.

How to identify the color of nail polish?
How does the applied nail polish last longer?
Nail care is an important part of female beauty. Beauty loving women always like to paint their long nails with bright red nail polish. To show the charm of slender hands. However, before beautifying the nails, the nails should be retouched. The first is to remove the old nail polish. Dip a cotton pad into the nail polish remover and rub it several times from the bottom of the nail to the tip to remove it completely. This can also cause old nail polish to seep into the epidermis or environment, then use the manicure tool to trim the shape of the nail. When you're done, dip your hands in soapy water to soften the crust. Then use a towel to carefully clean the fingers and between the fingers and at the same time press the fingers slowly to bring the skin close to the nails. If necessary, use scissors and small tweezers to remove thorns and jagged dead skin at the nail base.
We all know that color is a visual reaction produced by light acting on the human eye. The reason why people form a sense of color is due to the light, and different colors may appear when illuminated by different light.
Since there are subtle differences between different color numbers of nail polish, in order to accurately assess the color of nail polish, it is necessary to test the color of nail polish. The traditional color evaluation method of nail polish mainly relies on direct visual observation of the human eye. Due to the influence of the observation light source environment, observation angle, and subjective psychological factors of observation, the evaluation results of nail polish color will be biased. In order to evaluate the color of nail polish more objectively and accurately, the color of nail polish can be detected in a standard light source box.
1.Wash your hands with soap before use or wipe your nails with alcohol swabs to remove grease.
Second, apply a layer of light oil before painting, then apply 1-2 layers of colored nail polish to ensure each layer is dry before applying the next layer.
3.After the colored nail polish is dried, finally apply light oil;
Note: When brushing, leave some space (0.5-1mm) on both sides of the nails, the nail polish applied to the skin must be scraped off, and then use transparent water or an abrasion-resistant water seal layer so that the edges are not easy to warp.

In this article, we are going to explain in detail about fluorescents and hopefully help all nail art lovers to dispel their worries
First of all, we have three questions to answer
Fluorescent agent, also known as fluorescent whitening agent, is a fluorescent dye, or white dye, and a complex organic compound. It absorbs ultraviolet light and emits blue-violet fluorescence, which is neutralized with the yellow light produced by the object absorbing ultraviolet light, making the painted object look white and achieving the purpose of whitening.
Fluorescents are not irritating to the skin: After years of animal and human experiments, even fluorescent whitening products that come into direct contact with the skin are not irritating to the skin and do not cause skin allergies. And through daily washing actions, such as hand washing and bathing, it can be easily washed off completely and will not be absorbed into the skin.
No adverse effects on wound healing: The article "Toxicological properties of fluorescent brighteners" published in the German Journal of Dermatology in 1994 pointed out that even if the use of textile materials containing fluorescent brighteners in direct contact with wounds, there will be no adverse effects on wound healing, and no pathological changes to human skin.
Metabolism: Fluorescent whitening agents are water-soluble and can be excreted quickly and completely through normal metabolism.
The book "Environmental Quality and Safety Supplement Volume IV 'Fluorescent Whitening Agents'" published by Georg Thieme, Germany, shows that fluorescent whitening agents can be excreted in mice through metabolic studies. Metabolic studies have shown that the vast majority of fluorescent whitening agents are rapidly excreted through the intestine and are not absorbed by the intestine after heavy feeding of CBS. There is no residual fluorescent whitening agent in their blood, liver, and muscle. Therefore, even if a small amount of fluorescent whitening agent CBS enters the body, it will be excreted quickly through normal metabolism.
Fluorescent brightener CBS is not carcinogenic: The European Union Detergent Association (A.I.S.E.) has shown that fluorescent brightener CBS (also called FWA-5) is not carcinogenic.
The toxicity of fluorescent brighteners is of the same level as that of salt used daily, and the lethal amount of both is very close, which means that, like salt, it is only life-threatening to ingest more than 50g at a time.
Moreover, fluorescent whitening agents are widely present in the items we use every day. For example: most white plastic products, white candles, white tablecloths, plastic storage boxes and A4 paper.
In the nail polish industry, fluorescent brighteners are also commonly used in top coats. And the top coat is often used on color gel and hardener that have already cured and are unlikely to be absorbed, unless you eat it.
Why is fluorescent agent added inside the top coat? First of all, the top coat is mixed by a variety of raw materials, they can't be all transparent and colorless, so the top coat will generally become yellow under the sun.
The blue-violet fluorescence emitted by a small amount of fluorescent agent can neutralize the yellow light emitted by the top coat itself and achieve a balance, so that the top coat will not turn yellow.
However, when a top coat containing fluorescents is applied to the surface of a dark color or black nail polish, it will turn blue under the sunlight. For this problem, we recommend using a crystal clear top coat that does not contain fluorescent brighteners.
As you can see in the picture, the top part of the nail is painted with a crystal clear top coat, and under UV light, the white color turns yellow and the black color remains unchanged. And the top coat with fluorescent whitening agent has no change in the white color under the UV light, and the black color will turn blue.
Therefore, the summary is that fluorescent whitening agent is not a dangerous ingredient, it is important to choose the top coat with or without fluorescent whitening agent according to the color you apply to your nails.

Five nail removal tutorials that don't hurt your nails
Doing manicure is fashionable and beautiful, yet it is easy to apply it, but hard to remove it. If you are not careful, your nails will be thinned and become miserable. Next, we will explain how to remove nail polish, nail gel, Acrylic fake nail, builder gel, and acrylic powder nail.
Nail polish is made from a mixture of volatile chemical solvents and colorants, so it can be quickly broken down with alcohol, which are also solvents. You only need to use the alcohol nail removal pack to gently press and rub to quickly remove it. This is currently the quickest and simplest way to remove nail polish.
Nail polish is mainly a mixture of resin, photoinitiator and color powder. After being exposed to a specific UV light, it will harden quickly. The nail gel material will become strong after curing and will not dissolve easily with the solvent. The best way to remove the nail gel is to sand the surface of the top coat to reduce its thickness, then wrap the nail with a nail remover pack for 3 to 5 minutes and remove it. Just gently push and scrape with a steel pusher. If there is still a small amount of gel left, sand it down with a sanding strip.
Fake nails are thicker and harder than nail gel applied with a single color. Even if you use a nail removal kit directly, it will be very slow and hard. The best way is to use nail clippers to cut it short, then use a polisher to polish off a thin layer of the fake nail, then use a nail removal pack to soften the nail for 5 to 10 minutes. After the time is up, use a steel pusher to remove the residue. Remember, if there is still a large area of un-softened gel residue, do not use tools to push, you should continue to wrap it with the nail removal pack and wait for a period of time to remove it again.
Builder gel nail is the hardest and most difficult type of nail product to remove. If you use the incorrect method or forcefully peel it off, you will cause very serious damage to your own nails and a large area of damage overall. The correct way is to cut it short with a nail clipper first and use a sander to thin the gel as well. (Note: If you still need to do the extensions, you don't need to remove all the gel, just cover it and recreate it.) If you don't want to recreate it, just wrap it with a nail removal pack for 5 to 10 minutes and then use a steel pusher to remove it.
Due to the different material of Acrylic powder, the speed of fusion with nail removal pack is faster than builder gel. After you cut it short and polish it, you can remove it after 3 to 5 minutes by wrapping it with a nail removal pack. If there is any residue left after a light push with a steel pusher, just use a sponge to polish it untill it' s clean.
