Contact Dermatitis. 2007 May;56(5):298-9. doi: 10.1111/j.1600-0536.2006.01042.x.

Abstract

Allergic reactions to acrylates in sculptured nails are common. However, there are few reports of paresthesia as a consequence of acrylic exposure, and such paresthesia does not necessarily accompany the evolution of the dermatitis.
