Firework nail art is a type of nail art that features designs inspired by fireworks. There are many tutorials available online that show how to create firework nail art designs using different techniques. However, there is no specific product associated with firework nail art, as it can be created using any nail polish or nail art supplies.
Here are some general details about nail polish and fireworks:
Nail Polish
- The main ingredients of nail polish consist of a solvent, such as ethyl alcohol, acetone, or N-butyl acetate, and a plasticizer, such as dibutyl phthalate, that makes the product pliable and soft.
- Contemporary nail polish ingredients are synthetic organic materials and inorganic chemical products that are generally generated through a series of chemical reactions.
- The raw material production of nail polish costs a lot of energy in the life cycle of nail polish, and these materials can be divided into several categories according to different functions.
Fireworks
- Fireworks are a class of low explosive pyrotechnic devices used for aesthetic and entertainment purposes.
- Each component of the firework is made from different raw materials, some of which are hazardous and others not as much.
- Fireworks produce smoke and dust that may contain residues of heavy metals, sulfur-coal compounds, and some low concentration toxic chemicals.
- The following table lists the principal elements used in modern pyrotechnics. Some elements are used in their elemental form such as particles of titanium, aluminum, iron, zirconium, and magnesium. These elements burn in the presence of air (O2) or oxidants (perchlorate, chlorate). Most elements in pyrotechnics are in the form of salts.
| Symbol | Name | Fireworks usage |
|---|---|---|
| Al | Aluminium | Used to produce silver and white flames and sparks. It is a common component of sparklers. |
| Ba | Barium | Used to create green colors in fireworks, and it can also help stabilize other volatile elements. |
| C | Carbon | One of the main components of black powder, which is used as a propellant in fireworks. Carbon provides the fuel for a firework. Common forms include carbon black, sugar, or starch. |
| Cl | Chlorine | Chlorate and perchlorates are common oxidizers. |
| Cu | Copper | Copper compounds produce blue colors. |
| Fe | Iron | Iron filings are used to produce sparks. |
| K | Potassium | Potassium nitrate is used as an oxidizer in fireworks. |
| Mg | Magnesium | Magnesium burns very brightly and is used to produce white light. |
| Na | Sodium | Sodium compounds produce yellow and orange colors. |
| S | Sulfur | Sulfur is used to produce the fuel for a firework. |
In summary, firework nail art can be created using any nail polish or nail art supplies. Nail polish typically contains a solvent and a plasticizer, while fireworks are made from different raw materials, some of which are hazardous and others not as much. Fireworks produce smoke and dust that may contain residues of heavy metals, sulfur-coal compounds, and some low concentration toxic chemicals.
