nail polish uses image

I have an addiction to nail polish. I use it every day, trying out new designs and techniques. Is my health at risk because of this? I'm getting a little scared, because I've been reading about cancer and whatnot.
Answer
yes it can if you use it alot. Some chemicals in nail polish can be harmful if youâre regularly exposed to them. The two most common chemicals are formaldehyde and toluene.
Formaldehyde is used as a hardener in nail polish. Breathing in formaldehyde can irritate your eyes, nose and throat and lungs. There is a known cancer risk if you're exposed to high levels of formaldehyde over long periods through your work. Although it may not be good for you to be exposed to formaldehyde too often, your unborn baby is unlikely to be affected. That's because formaldehyde is rapidly broken down in your body.
Toluene is used to help nail polish glide on more smoothly. Breathing in toluene can irritate your eyes, throat and lungs. Thereâs also a risk that exposure to toluene at high levels can damage the nervous system and cause birth defects in an unborn baby. You'd need to be regularly, directly inhaling toluene fumes for this to be a risk.
If you paint your nails often, or if you work as a nail technician, there may be a small risk from being affected these chemicals.

How to get nail polish off of gel nails?

I just got my gel nails polished using airbrush and the clear coat and airbrushing will not come off, even with acetone. Please help- thank you!
Answer
Don't use any remover with acetone in it. That's what is used to get the fake nails off if you soak them long enough. If non-acetone remover doesn't do it, go back to the Salon.
