I’m terrified of scented nail polish
Apr 28, 2009 Author: Margaux | Filed under: Thoughts of the Moment
Sorry, Katie….but….
When I was growing up, I DISTINCTLY REMEMBER someone (although I can’t remember exactly who…) telling me TO NEVER INHALE THE FUMES FROM NAIL POLISH OR NAIL POLISH REMOVER!!!!!!!!
My entire life, I’ve ALWAYS held my breath or covered my nose/mouth to avoid breathing in the what I thought were supposedly toxic fumes that would give me brain damage or cause immediate death. OK, I’m exaggerating…but seriously, only slightly.
Why would a nail polish company introduce a line of pleasantly-scented nail polishes if inhaling nail polish fumes ae allegedly harmful to one’s health??
Maybe what I was told as a child was erroneous…but I don’t care, old habits die hard and I am terrified of these new scented nail polishes.
What’s next, pineapple-scented gasoline? Apple-scented paint thinner???
I’m terrified and outraged. Has the world gone mad????

Agreed, the strong fumes leave no desire for inhaling with reason- makes me think of those smelly markers… was it ever a good idea to even sniff those?
More fragrance loaded chemicals is probably the last thing we need! I don’t like the idea of the young girls growing up now thinking that inhaling their pretty nail polish is acceptable or even fashionable, ick.
LOL that is what my dad says whenever I paint my nails……………… This is probably true, because if the acohol or whatever, my father makes me open a window whenever I paint my nails, even winter time………………
