i did my experiment.
I did my first trial experiment the other day but my internet screwed up at me. :( Here are some results!1. BYS Nail Enamel "Pink Surprise"
Time taken: 3:28:0
Description: this nail polish contains toluene and formaldehyde. It has a VERY strong smell as it was stated in my research before.
First rub using 3.5cm long abrasion paper: It was slightly faded and it rubbed onto the paper. This might have been because the polish is still moist. The nail polish also slightly smeared. Some areas had no nail polish left.
Second rub: Similar to first rub, except it faded more.
Third rub: Crumbled slightly. However most of the nail polish still intact. It had just smeared and rubbed off a bit.
2. Jordana Nail Polish True Red 77
Time taken: 6:44:6
Description: this nail polish does not contain toluene and formaldehyde. I realised I applied one layer but it was thicker than the other polishes. This could have affected the drying time.
First rub using 3.5cm long abrasion paper: It smudged and clumped up. Some areas rubbed off. But majority is sitll intact. Only a few specks rubbed off. This showed the strong durability.
Second rub: Still the same. The foil slightly ripped instead due to different pressure.
Third rub: The foil fully ripped off area. But the nail polish remained exactly the same. Similar to first application. VERY STRONG. This could depend on width of abrasion paper.
3. Oulijia Nail Art
Time taken:
11:46:5
Description: this nail polish does not contain toluene and formaldehyde. It was
very watery possibly because it was unopened for ages. Very sticky.
First rub using 3.5cm long abrasion paper:
ALL RUBBED OFF ONTO ABRASION PAPER. Except a bit at the bottom. Very watery and wet. Very smelly. Clumps on paper.
Second rub: M
ore smudged.
Third rub: Nothing really left. Very pale. Looked like dried up blood.
4. BYS Nail Enamel "Cherry Bomb"
Time taken:
7:13:8
Description: this nail polish contains toluene and formaldehyde. O
ne layer was applied but it was a very thick amount.
First rub using 3.5cm long abrasion paper: It was slightly faded and it rubbed onto the paper. This might have been because the polish is still moist. The nail polish also slightly smeared. Some areas had no nail polish left.
Second rub: Nothing changed.
Third rub: Nothing changed. Foil ripped.
I realised after doing my first trial, that there are some key points that haven't been controlled well.
- One layer was applied to each, but some had thicker nail polish due to the brush
- Different sand paper sizes. Although the lengths were similar, the widths were unbalanced.
- Different pressure was used with the abrasion paper onto the nail polish.
- Once the nail polish was applied, the timer not straight away.
I decided that I will ask someone for help next time so the timing will be more accurate. To even out the pressure, I should have attached the paper onto a wooden block. I also should have cut out the paper into even squares. I also decided I will add another nail polish to the collection, without the harmful ingredients BUT a different colour - silver. I wonder if the colour would have any impact to the durability. (Thanks Julie for letting me borrow your nail polish)
AND THE PHOTOS WILL BE COMING SOON. AND A SECOND TRIAL.
