Does nail polish contain formaldehyde? Is nail polish toxic?

Manicure is very popular among girls nowadays, because beautiful nails can make our hands look more beautiful, but some people think that nail polish contains formaldehyde, so let's find out whether nail polish contains formaldehyde? Is nail polish toxic?

Nail polish does not contain formaldehyde, but it is toxic to a certain extent. Nail polish is a mixture with relatively low toxicity. Long-term contact can cause inflammation of the eyes, nose, and throat, coughing, asthma attacks, shortness of breath, nausea, vomiting, rash, nosebleeds, headaches, and dizziness. In addition, for nail polish of varying quality, some inferior brands and products without any certifications do not disclose their ingredients and may be harmful, so when choosing nail polish, pay attention to choosing high-quality nail polish. Its raw materials are taken from natural resins, which are environmentally friendly, non-toxic, healthy and safe. It is compatible with the common advantages of glue and nail polish, has a rich and clear color, is easy to apply, dries instantly, and maintains a longer-lasting gloss. It is known as the most fashionable star masterpiece of nail polish.

Although nail polish has the word "glue" in its name, it is not very toxic and does not cause harm to the human body, which is why it is so popular. However, frequent use of nail polish will involve the problem of nail polish removal, but nail polish remover is very harmful to the human body, so it is recommended not to frequently change nail polish and frequently remove nail polish. Nail polish is generally made of fiber as the main material and some chemical solvents. Such nail polish, when applied on the nails, can make the nails more rosy and will not fade for a long time. It is liked by many people, but some people are worried about whether nail polish is harmful to the body? In fact, these raw materials should originally have some biological toxicity, but nail polish is different from other nail polishes. Its biological materials are relatively environmentally friendly. So there is no need to worry too much about whether nail polish is harmful, because you can also smell that nail polish smells very fragrant, but ordinary nail polish smells like a chemical agent.

Before applying nail polish, be sure to wipe the water off the nails. If you have just washed your hands or wiped them with a wet towel, be sure to wipe off the water on the surface of the nails. It is recommended to wait for two minutes after drying the water to allow the surface of the nails to dry completely. Because once the nail polish encounters a little water, the color fit will be greatly reduced and bubbles are likely to form. Nails are usually painted twice, and the color should be applied thinner each time and done in one go. Repeated application back and forth is prone to bubbles. If nail polish thinner is added to the nail polish, it must be fully blended before applying, and be careful not to mix too much other gas, otherwise bubbles will easily appear when applying. Make sure the brush head is flat, and the brush head that has split and hardened should be replaced as soon as possible, otherwise bubbles will definitely appear as soon as it is applied.

The safest and most reliable method is to add nail polish thinner. Just add a few drops to restore the dried nail polish to its previous state and use it normally. For ordinary nail polish, you can also dilute it by adding transparent nail polish. Of course, you should also pay attention to the amount and stir it evenly. Air can evaporate the solvent in the nail polish, causing the nail polish to thicken or even deteriorate. Such nail polish can basically no longer be used. On the one hand, it may cause discomfort to the human body, and on the other hand, it will seriously affect the customer experience. Therefore, the nail polish must be covered with a lid after use, and the nail surface must be brushed steadily and quickly. Do not use the nail polish that has obviously thickened.
