AB SUMMARYNail  cosmetics  and  relative  techniques  have  become  increasingly  popular  but  they  are  not  without  risks,  in  particular  for  the  emergence  of  a  new  class  of  allergens  called  acrylates.Acrylates  and  other  known  potential  allergens  or  irritants,  such  as  tosylamide  and  formaldeyde,  contained  in  nail  polish,  can  favor  the  onset  of  nail  contact  dermatitis.Nail  contact  dermatitis  can  be  divided  into  irritant  contact  dermatitis  with  nail  plate  yellowing,  nail  dystrophy,  and  cuticle  destruction,  or  allergic  contact  dermatitis,  with  a  characteristic  psoriasiform  reaction  of  multiple  fingernails.  In  particular  situations,  other  skin  body  areas  may  be  afflicted.
