Treating diabetics with pedicures requires special consideration and caution due to the unique health challenges associated with diabetes.

We want as many of you as possible to try our Apex Build series because we are seeing far too many HEMA-free bottle builder systems that encourage nail technicians to perform aggressive prep with low grit files for product adhesion. Unfortunately, this not only damages the natural nail plate in the long run but also ruins further chances of better adhesion due to the damaged dorsal layer of the nail plate, which offers the best adhesion between the natural nail plate and any artificial coating. Additionally, it doesn't guarantee good results as most of the highly acclaimed HEMA-free builders are simply formulated too rigid for their main purpose, which is natural nail overlays.

We first became aware of this issue when one of our colleagues showed us a sample she received in a PR package from another brand, which had serious color separation.
