Nail polish and nail polisher remover - bad for you?

i was reading up on yahoo answers and i got freaked out because today i was experimenting with nail polish (FOR MY NAILS, NOT TO HUFF IT INN), so therefore also had to use nail polish remover. does it really lose all that many brain cells? nothing close to like smoking right?

The chemical solvents in nail polish and remover CAN be harmful, if inhaled directly or often.





To avoid this, use only in well-ventilated areas. I wouldn't worry about killing off your brain cells, if you use nail products with care.





If you're still worried, choose non-acetone nail polish removers, and use only nail polish brands that are ';big 3-free.'; That means they don't contain dibutyl phthalate (DBP), formaldehyde and toluene, which can be harmful to one's health.





OPI and Sally Hansen are two brands that are big 3-free. Check the labels of other brands to see if they've omitted the chemicals as well.Nail polish and nail polisher remover - bad for you?
What... nail polish remover is alright as long as you don't use it more than twice a week
