I loved using gel nail polish but all of a sudden i became allergic to it and also acrylic. is there a certain ingredient im allergic to in it?

Possibly : And better avoid it for now, if bothersome kindly see a dermatologist through your primary doctor, you may need patch testing to diagnose the exact material causing the problem, you want to keep the nail polish and take it with you to the doctor, wish you well
