Through the course of the film, Van unintentionally becomes a contemporary Norma Rae or Erin Brockovich. Painted Nails brings us unprecedented insight into the personal nature of the political movement to regulate one of the fastest growing industries in the U.S. Major loopholes in the federal law dating back to 1938 allow the 50-billion-dollar cosmetics industry to put unlimited amounts of chemicals into personal care products with no required testing, monitoring of health effects, or labeling requirements. The salon Van owns with her husband feels like a second home, but she is hesitant for her daughter to spend time there, fearing the adverse effects of product chemicals. Van herself suffers from headaches, memory loss, and has had trouble bringing other pregnancies to term, but continues to work morning until night every day. Determined to make her salon a safer place, Van takes her story to Washington D.C. and becomes one of the first to testify for safe cosmetics in over 30 years. In front of the congressional and environmental protection agency staff and the opposing cosmetic industry, Van advocates for the Safe Cosmetics and Personal Care Products Act with testimony marked by tears she fights to keep back. Replete with tender yet insightful moments, Painted Nails strips the polish from an issue that touches anyone who uses personal care products. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 Manicuring|zUnited States. 650 0 Manicuring|xHealth aspects. 650 0 Manicuring|xSafety measures. 650 0 Vietnamese|xHealth and hygiene. 650 0 Vietnamese|xMedical care. 650 0 Beauty operators|xHealth and hygiene. 650 0 Beauty operators|xMedical care. 650 0 Vietnamese Americans. 655 7 Documentary films.|2lcgft 700 1 Griffin, Dianne,|efilm director. 700 1 Jordan, Erica,|efilm director. 710 2 DigAll Media (Firm),|4dst 710 2 Kanopy (Firm),|4dst 856 40 |uhttps://naperville.kanopy.com/node/334090|zAvailable on Kanopy 856 42 |zCover Image|uhttps://www.kanopy.com/node/334090/external -image
