Having used TT and prompting this debate somewhat, I emailed Tammy and this is what I got back. I feel the issue was skirted and not actually dealt wiyh- at least not to my satisfaction.

I watched your tutorial on UTube for pink and white backfills. It seemed like you were getting a lot of liquid on the skin.........
Somewhere, either a video or in a class, I have seen or heard that your liquid is hypoallergenic. Is this true? And how, since all liquids have basically the same chemical make-up.
Thanks
1. The Tammy Taylor Nails "Nail Liquid" (EMA) is approved by State Boards of Cosmetology, and Tammy's "Nail Liquid" is used all over the World; and it is easily washed from the skin with soap & water. I do not know of anyone allergic to our Nail Liquid.
2. There are 2-basic acrylic liquids being used, one is Approved and one is NOT:
- EMA - Is Approved for use in Salons (ETHYL METHACRYLATE Liquid Monomer)
- MMA - Is "NOT" approved (METHYL METHACRYLATE Liquid Monomer)
Link to EMA vrs MMA article:

3. MMA is "not" approved, and can be problematic when it gets on the skin.
4. The other cause for skin irritation is "primer" - When too much primer is applied; and if the primer is applied too close to the "cuticle" skin, or too close along the nail-groove, along the sides of the fingernail or toenail.
Thank you & Have a Great Nail Day,
