Some artificial nail kits contain toxic chemicals, so it’s important to follow safety precautions when using and storing them.

The American Academy of Dermatology suggests:

• Storing all at-home nail kits and products out of a child’s reach.
• Applying artificial nails only in a well-ventilated room.
• Being careful not to get any chemicals on your skin.
• Making it a point to never cut your cuticles or filing down the surface of your nails.
• Following the kit’s instructions carefully, and only using recommended materials.
