What is dip flu?

The term 'dip flu' is not a medically correct term, but a colloquial expression that describes various short-term reactions to dipping products. These include: watery eyes, sneezing or a blocked nose. The reason for this is the vapours from the base and top coat. The ingredients are common to the dipping system and are non-toxic, but the reaction can vary from person to person.

Here are some tips on how to prevent symptoms:

• Ensure good ventilation: it is important to apply in a well-ventilated area.
• Ensure adequate lighting: Avoid leaning over the nail when applying the liquids, as you will inhale the vapours directly and are therefore more likely to have a reaction.
• Use a mask: If you are particularly sensitive or do manicures frequently, wearing a mask can help.

In the appendix you will find another detailed overview with tips on how to prevent the symptoms.

We would like to reiterate that Dip Flu is not a specific reaction to our products, but is due to the composition of Base & Top Coat in the dipping system. This means that reactions can also occur with other dipping products and brands.

If your reaction is stronger than described above or lasts longer, we advise against further use. In this case, please consult your doctor and have a possible allergy clarified.

Your safety is very important to us!
