| MMA Damaged Nails |
MMA Damaged Nails: D. Tuggle,
owner of The Nail Academy, Jamaica, Queens, N.Y., submitted this
picture of nails damaged by MMA to the BeautyTech Web Site and
allowed it to be added to this page. MMA (methyl
methacrylate) is a liquid monomer used for acrylic nails by some
unscrupulous salons even though it is considered by and prohibited
by the FDA to be a poisonous and deleterious substance.
According to Dianna Bonn of Indiana, as of May 1, 1999, 23 states
have banned this chemical from being used in nail salons.
MMA nails are very rigid and do not bend or have the flexibility
to break. When MMA does finally break, it will break the
natural nail with it, causing severe nail damage.
