Is water-based nail polish harmful to the human body? What is the difference between water-based nail polish and oil-based nail polish?

There are many nail polishes on the market, and different nail polish ingredients have different effects. Water-based nail polish is mainly composed of water and acrylic ester, and water-based nail polish is also harmful to the human body.

Water-based nail polish has certain hazards. Although water-based nail polish has no smell, it is also toxic. Water-based nail polish is mainly an emulsion composed of water and acrylic acid. It is harmful to the human body, but its toxicity is much lower than that of oil-based nail polish. Water-based nail polish has a sparse texture and is easy to apply evenly. When removing it, you don't need nail polish remover, it will fall off as soon as you tear it off.

The difference between oil-based nail polish and

1. Different solvents

Water-based nail polish uses water and propylene as the main solvents. It does not contain harmful substances such as formaldehyde and benzene. It is rich in natural plant vitamins and active substances. It can replace traditional organic solvents and is harmless to the human body. It can be used safely. Oil-based nail polish contains solvents such as acetone, ethyl acetate, and formaldehyde.

2. Different texture

Water-based nail polish is thinner; oil-based nail polish is thicker.

3. Different durability

Water-based nail polish is more fragile than ordinary nail polish and is easy to fall off, but it is easy to apply evenly; oil-based nail polish can only be washed off with organic solvents and is more durable.

4. Different liquidity

The fluidity of water-based nail polish is greater than that of oil-based nail polish. After film formation, the acrylic is dispersed in the water in the form of particles. After the water dries, these particles will stick together, thus achieving a waterproof effect.

5. Different chemical composition

Water-based nail polish has fewer chemical components, is peelable, and does not require nail polish remover. Oil-based nail polish has a stronger odor and contains more chemical components.

How to dilute water-based nail polish if it is a little dry?

1. Add diluent

If the water-based nail polish is about to dry, just drop a few drops of thinner into it. Just a few drops are enough to restore the nail polish to its previous state.

2. Add water

When using nail polish, the bottle is open and the water will evaporate into the air. If you find that it has become a thick layer, quickly drop a drop of water into it, shake it a few times and you can use it. Every time you see it is about to dry, you can drop a drop of water into it.

3. Add transparent nail polish

The reason why transparent nail polish is added is because it is colorless and will not destroy the previous color of the nail polish. However, you must pay attention to the amount. It cannot be too much, otherwise it will change the original color of the nail polish. After adding it, shake it evenly before use.

Why does water-based nail polish fall off when it touches water?

Water-based nail polish will fall off when it touches water. This is because water-based nail polish is made of water and acrylic emulsion as the basic raw materials. Water-based nail polish is thinner and has great fluidity. If it is applied on the nails and not dried, it will be washed off with water. Compared with chemical nail polish, chemical nail polish will corrode the surface layer of the nails and is very strong, causing greater damage to the nails. Water-based nail polish causes much less damage, but it is easy to fall off.
