你有沒有注意到，手指甲的生長速度總是比腳趾甲快？這不僅僅是個人的觀察，這背後有著科學的原因！今天就讓我們一起深入探討這個有趣的現象。

手指甲：忙碌的小健將
手指甲可以稱為「跑步健將」，因為我們的手指每天都在為生活忙碌著。從敲鍵盤、滑手機，到刷牙、點餐，手指的高活動量使得血液流動更加充分。研究表明，手指甲的生長速度與血液供應密切相關。血液中的氧氣和養分為指甲的快速生長提供了得天獨厚的條件！

腳趾甲：佛系生長
相比之下，腳趾甲的生長速度就慢得多，可以稱之為「佛系生長」。這是因為腳趾大部分時間都被鞋子包覆著，鞋子的壓力和活動量較少，導致血流量減少，從而減緩了腳趾甲的生長。此外，腳趾甲基部的生長區域（即甲基）刺激也相對較少，這都是造成腳趾甲生長緩慢的原因。

指甲生長的主要因素

1. 血液供應：豐富的血液供應使得指甲能獲得足夠的營養和氧氣。
2. 活動量：手指的高活動量促進血液循環，而腳趾相對靜止，造成生長速度差異。
3. 新陳代謝：年輕人的新陳代謝較快，因此指甲生長迅速。隨著年齡的增長，這一速度會變慢。
4. 外部環境：氣候變化也影響指甲的生長。夏天的高溫有利於指甲生長，而冬天會減緩生長速度。

正常生長速率
根據研究，正常情況下，指甲每個月約長3mm，而腳趾甲則約1mm。這些數據不僅反映了我們的生理特徵，也提醒著我們注意飲食與生活習慣對指甲健康的重要性。

無論是手指甲還是腳趾甲，都在告訴我們身體的奧秘。手指甲的快速生長不僅是生活活動的結果，也是生理功能的體現。了解這些背後的科學知識，不僅能讓我們更好地照顧自己的指甲，也能提升對身體健康的重視。把握這些小知識，讓我們的生活更加豐富多彩吧！

Gel nails are beautiful and long-lasting, making them a top choice for many beauty enthusiasts! Just a glance at the vibrant colors and intricate designs can lift your spirits. But have you ever wondered about the health risks that might be hidden behind that beauty?

You may have heard concerns like:

“I’ve heard that gel nails can damage my natural nails…”
“My skin is sensitive, and after getting gel nails, my fingers become red and itchy…”

As professional nail technicians at Rainbow Nails, we frequently hear these concerns from our clients. Today, we’re here to clarify the myths surrounding the safety of gel nails and how we prioritize your beauty and health at Rainbow Nails!

The Hidden Concerns: Understanding Allergens like HEMA and TPO

Recently, the EU issued safety warnings regarding a gel nail ingredient called TPO, raising concerns within the industry. In fact, potential allergens have been an ongoing issue.

To put it simply, consider the following:

HEMA: This is one of the common allergens found in traditional gel polishes. Due to its small molecular structure, it easily penetrates the skin. If not applied properly, gel polish can come into contact with the skin around the nails, potentially causing redness, itching, or even blisters.

TPO: This is a “photo-initiator” that helps the gel polish cure when exposed to UV light. It has also been identified as a potential allergen, and prolonged or improper exposure can lead to skin issues.

The key takeaway? It’s often not the gel itself that causes problems, but rather specific chemical ingredients in low-quality products and unprofessional application techniques.

Why Choosing a Professional Nail Salon is Crucial

Feeling a bit concerned? Don’t worry—that’s exactly why professional nail salons exist! A truly caring salon, like Rainbow Nails, provides assurance in two major ways:

Carefully Selected, High-Quality, Safe Products
We understand the saying, “You are what you put on your skin.” At Rainbow Nails, our first line of defense is product selection:

1. No unknown, cheap products:
We only use reputable brands that meet international safety standards (like EU regulations).

2. Prioritizing HEMA-Free / TPO-Free options:
We carefully research product ingredients to offer our clients—especially those with sensitive skin or pregnant women—safe formula choices that are free from HEMA, TPO, and other harmful chemicals (like formaldehyde and toluene).

3. Transparency:
We’re happy to show you the brands we use, ensuring you feel secure and confident in your beauty treatment.

Professional and Detail-Oriented Application Techniques
Even the best products require skilled application. Our nail technicians undergo rigorous training to ensure that during the service:

1. Precise application:
When applying gel polish, we meticulously avoid the skin around the nails to prevent direct contact with the gel.

2. Sufficient curing time:
We ensure that every layer of gel polish is completely cured. Incomplete curing can leave active chemicals in the polish, a major culprit for allergic reactions.

3. Top-notch hygiene:
All tools are thoroughly disinfected to guarantee your health and safety.

Beauty and Health Can Coexist!
Pursuing beauty should never come at the expense of your health. Choosing a trustworthy, professional, and responsible nail salon is the best investment you can make for yourself.

At Rainbow Nails, we promise to provide you with not just trendy styles, but also a worry-free experience. We’ve done our homework to ensure that both our products and techniques prioritize your safety.

Gel 甲（凝膠美甲）又靚又持久，無疑是許多愛美女生的首選！看著指尖上亮麗的色彩和精緻的款式，心情都會變好。但您又有沒有想過，這些美麗的背後，是否隱藏著健康的風險？

您可能聽過這樣的擔憂：

「聽說做 Gel 甲會傷甲……」
「我的皮膚比較敏感，做完 Gel 甲手指周圍會又紅又癢……」

作為 Rainbow Nails 的專業美甲師，我們每天都會聽到客人的這些擔憂。今天，我們就來一次過解開大家對 Gel 甲安全性的迷思，並告訴您，在 Rainbow Nails 我們如何為您的美麗與健康把關！

美麗的隱憂：認識致敏成分 HEMA 與 TPO

最近，歐盟對一種名為 TPO 的 Gel 甲油成分發出了安全警示，引起了業界的關注。其實，這類潛在的致敏成分並不是新鮮事。

簡單來說，您可以將它們理解為：

HEMA：這是傳統 Gel 甲油中常見的致敏原之一。由於其分子很小，容易滲透皮膚，如果美甲師操作不當，讓甲油接觸到指緣皮膚，就可能引發紅腫、發癢甚至起水泡等過敏反應。

TPO：這是一種「光引發劑」，作用是在照燈時讓 Gel 甲油固化變硬。它同樣被證實是潛在的致敏物質，長期或不當接觸可能引起皮膚問題。

重點是：引發問題的，往往不是 Gel 甲本身，而是劣質產品中的特定化學成分，以及不專業的操作手法。

為何選擇專業美甲店至關重要？

看到這裡，您可能會有點擔心。但請放心，這正是專業美甲店存在的價值！一家真正關心您的店家，會從兩大方面為您提供保障：

嚴選高品質、安全的產品
我們深知「病從口入，敏從膚入」的道理。因此，在 Rainbow Nails，我們為您做的第一重把關，就是「產品篩選」：

1. 絕不使用來路不明的廉價產品
我們堅持採購來自可靠品牌、符合國際安全標準（如歐盟標準）的專業級 Gel 甲油。

2. 優先選用「HEMA-Free / TPO-Free」產品
我們會仔細研究產品成分，為客人（特別是皮膚敏感或懷孕的客人）提供不含 HEMA、TPO 或其他有害化學物質（如甲醛、甲苯等）的「X-Free」安全配方選擇。

3. 透明公開
我們樂意向您展示我們使用的產品品牌，讓您美得安心又放心。

專業細心的操作技術
再好的產品，也需要專業的技術配合。我們的美甲師都經過嚴格訓練，確保在服務過程中：

1. 操作精準
塗抹 Gel 甲油時，會精準地避開指緣皮膚，從根源上杜絕甲油膠與皮膚直接接觸的機會。

2. 照燈時間充足
確保每一層 Gel 甲油都完全固化。未完全固化的甲油，其化學物質仍然活躍，是導致過敏的一大元兇。

3. 衛生安全第一
所有工具均經過徹底消毒，保障您的健康。

美麗與健康，您絕對可以同時擁有！
追求美麗，從來不應以犧牲健康為代價。選擇一家值得信賴、專業且負責任的美甲店，就是對自己最好的投資。

在 Rainbow Nails，我們承諾為您提供的不僅是時尚的款式，更是一份安心的體驗。我們已經為您做足功課，從產品到技術，都為您層層把關。讓我們用最專業的態度，守護您指尖上的每一分美麗。
