The Hong Kong Consumer Council (HKCC) tested 25 water-soluble nail polish resin products and found that nearly 70 percent of the samples contained carcinogens prohibited by the European Union.

All samples are water-soluble resin nail polish (soak-off gel), which needs to be shined on UV light to make it more durable and sold at between HKD88 (approx. $11) and HKD238 (approx. $30).
