Expert Verdict
Skin sensitization potential common to methacrylate monomers. The monomer is short-lived during normal nail application, so the primary hazard is inadvertent skin contact. Light-sensitive.. Molecular formula C₈H₁₄O₃, MW 158.19; also known as Ethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether Methacrylate; forms a continuous film on nails.
