Health and safety
Overexposure is a chemical hazard caused from prolonged repeated exposure beyond levels specified as safe by OH&S regulations. The most common sign of overexposure is skin irritation which can lead to sensitisation which is being sensitive to any foreign substance. Skin irritation is a warning that a problems may be occurring. It is usually momentary itchiness on the nail or surrounding tissue accompanied by redness. By stopping the exposure, the itchiness will go away.
General contraindications to advanced nail art.
- Allergic reactions and abnormal skin around nail.
- Bacterial, fungal, parasitic and viral infections.
- Bruising or swelling around nail and damaged natural nails from ineffective removal of enhancements.
- Contraindications of products used in combination with other services.
Eye protection.
Some form of eye protection should be worn by the nail operator when working on clients. These can be goggles or glasses. Avoid wearing contact lenses in the salon as vapours will collect in the soft contacts and make them unwearable. Should an accidental splash occur, contact lenses prevent proper cleaning of the eye. Always wash your hands before touching the eye area. Other forms of protective equipment are face masks and gloves.
Patch test for allergic contact dermatitis (ACD).  
The chemicals which may cause allergic contact dermatitis in traditional acrylic, gel nail and Shellac® nail contain acrylates. Skin contact with these chemicals may lead to the development of ACD. Conduct the patch test using hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) as it is an adequate screening agent for acrylate allergy.

end result.

Providing aftercare advice
There is very little after care required in a nail art service however it is very important that the client is pleased with the results of the service. Write down client comments on their client card for future reference. Advise the client to apply cuticle oil to their cuticles every day to prevent the nail enhancement lifting allowing the formation of bacteria between the product and the natural nail. If the design begins to dull have the client apply one coat of top coat to add lustre to the design.
Removing nail art.
Apply acetone to a cotton pad and remove the nail art as you do for a regular polish removal. It may takes several attempts. Be sure to dispose of the waste products correctly to minimise the effects on the environment.
There are five points in developing a successful nail art business.
Know the features and benefits of the nail art service you are offering your clients.
Use questioning skills to determine the needs of your clients.
Present the salon as a clean and inviting environment for the client to visit. Know how to impress the client and make them feel important.

Sustainability Sustainability is the ability to maintain a certain status or process in existing systems. The most frequent use of the term sustainability, is connected to biological or human systems in the context of ecology. The ability of an ecosystem to function and maintain productivity for a prolonged period is also sustainability.
Sustainability in general refers to the property of being sustainable. The widely accepted definition of sustainability or sustainable development was given by World Commission on Environment and Development in It defined sustainable development as "forms of progress that meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs.“
Practically, sustainability refers to three broad themes, economic, social and environmental, that must all be coordinated and addressed to ensure the long term viability of a community and the planet.
The primary goal of sustainable is using renewable natural resources in a manner that does not eliminate or degrade them or otherwise diminish their usefulness for future generations.
Sustainable work practices;
Safe disposal of all waste materials to minimise negative impact on the environment.
Efficient use of energy, water and other resources used to minimise negative impact on the environment.
Ensuring the practice of waste minimisation and recycling is conducted to reduce impact on the environment.
Comparing availability of products, equipment and services and adjusting their use to minimise negative impact on the environment.
