There were three others who were taking the same course and one day Jani split us into two teams of two and announced that we’re going to have a debate! Our topic was whether the constant exposure to the chemicals found in nail art spas is hazardous to our health. My teamed ended up having to argue for the topic so I had to go and do some research on how nail polish and other cosmetics can be harmful. I actually made some shocking discoveries. For example, one source contained a lengthy list of all illnesses that can arise due to overexposure to cosmetics and how nail artists are liable to suffer from them.
On the day of the debate, I came armed with my points only to find that my partner hasn’t showed up! Jani insisted that we continue without her anyway so I had to defend my side of the argument on my own. The opposing team put up quite a fight although even they were shocked when I revealed how potentially harmful these cosmetics can be. Jani eventually had to intervened, saying that there’s nothing to worry about as long as the users know how to handle them correctly. This included maintaining a clean workstation, putting on base coats, using face masks to cover the mouth and nose when filing and avoiding buying products with harmful constituents such as DBP. Knowing these points would undoubtedly be useful if any one of us is planning to pursue this stream professionally in order to defend the market.
