  • Title: Allergic onycholysis and paronychia caused by cyanoacrylate nail glue, but not by photobonded methacrylate nails.
    Author: Kanerva L, Estlander T.
    Journal: Eur J Dermatol; 2000; 10(3):223-5. PubMed ID: 10725824.
    Abstract:
    Artificial acrylic nails may induce side effects such as fingertip dermatitis, periungual dermatitis, onycholysis, paresthesiae, Raynaud's phenomenon, ectopic facial involvement, and allergic contact dermatitis. We present a patient who developed allergic onycholysis from a cyanoacrylate used in a nail adhesive. She was able to use photobonded sculptured nails because they contain methacrylates that do not cross-react with cyanoacrylates.
