GEL NAIL POLISH BAN
THE European Union just dropped a bombshell on the beauty world, and if you're someone who lives for that perfect, chip-free manicure, you might want to sit down for this.
The days of your go-to gel polish might be numbered, and it’s all for a pretty serious reason.
For years, gel manicures have been our go-to for a durable, high-gloss finish.
You simply pop into a salon, get a few coats of that thick, shiny polish, and then sit under a UV or LED lamp to set it and then you walk out with a manicure that lasts for weeks, fending off chips and peels.
It's no wonder gel nails became a massive staple in the beauty industry.
But all that is changing now, thanks to a single ingredient called TPO, or trimethylbenzoyl diphenylphosphine oxide.
