    I’d be more interested in painting my claws if it didn’t manage to smell so. Considring you’re literally smearing it on your body to sit for several weeks, you’d think they’d have developed less toxic formulas that don’t smell like you tipped over the entire Tamiya display at the hobby shop.

      Nail polish typically uses acetone as its solvent, and despite smelling, acetone is something that humans naturally have low levels of in their blood, so slightly higher levels are pretty safe. Obviously, having exposure to large quantities is bad, but that isn’t how nail polish is typically used.
