What Happens to Your Body After You Apply Nail Polish

As we all know, you shouldn’t use nail polish too often, or your nails will begin to dry up and turn yellow. However, it turns out that this type of cosmetic can cause much more serious harm to our health. We don’t urge you to abandon nail polish altogether. Instead, Bright Side simply wants to list the negative effects its ingredients may have on your body.

For example, if you’re suffering from allergies, contact with formaldehyde can cause dermatitis and possible chemical burns. In more severe cases, it can trigger heart rhythm disorders, convulsions, and even cancer!

SUMMARY:
- Toluene can affect the central nervous system and cause reproductive disorders. Headaches, weakness, fainting, dizziness, and nausea are just some of the likely consequences of using cheap nail polish.
- Dibutyl Рhthalate is used in nail products as a solvent for dyes. However, the presence of this dangerous component may cause you endocrine disorders, gynecological diseases, and diseases of the respiratory tract.
- Scientists conducted a study with a group of 24 women. 6 hours after painting their nails, most of the participants were displaying elevated levels of diphenyl phosphate — a derivative of triphenyl phosphate which is formed in the process of metabolism.
- ‘5-Free’ means that the product doesn’t contain formaldehyde, its derivative resins (formaldehyde resins), toluene, dibutyl phthalate, or camphor.
- ‘3-Free’ means that the polish is free of just three of the harmful components: formaldehyde, dibutyl phthalate, and toluene.

I use nail polish 💅 but my nails aren't yellow

[Jennypeepee]

No mention of the fact that most nail polishes are at least 3 free these days which means the mentioned chemicals are not even in them. Way to go. This is going to falsely make people assume that all nail polish is awful when there have been huge changes in making the formulas safe.... It's been like this for like 10 years.

We need to send this to Simplynailogical this so she can react to it!!!💿💿💿💿💿

Toluene, formaldehyde and dibutylphtalate aren't used anymore. Maybe only in cheap shitty polishes that normal people tend to avoid. Have you people ever heard of big3-free, big5-free and big7-free? My nail polish collection is pretty big and NONE of my polishes contain these three ingredients. This information is at least 20 years old, do your research and stop misinforming your audience. If you use good nail polish brands you're gonna be fine.

I don't apply nail polish...Why am I watching this lol

[rawsueshii]

So would wearing fake nails protect your real nails from the polish?

[saralaspeaks]

🙄 Just about every single modern polish brand has done away with the big 3 talked about in this video; more often than not, you'll have a much easier time finding 3-/4-/5-free polishes than any that still contain formaldehyde, DBP, or toluene. Why? Because the companies realized the dangers of the ingredients and ditched them. Nothing to freak over, your polish is fine.

Bright Side makes more videos on the Dark Side of things...😂😂

[dankestbabe]

watching this while applying nail polish. nice

[ivyroseheart]

Still painting my nails later. Did you know that drinking too much can cause these too: Headaches, Nausea and more! Sorry I couldn't resist, I almost think life is to short to worry about things like this, I think this is why people live so short. We worry too much about what's good for us and what isn't. We become so paraniod we forget that it's okay to do things.... Okay I'm going to go now,

[pmsnowraven]

This vid is exactly what i needed to see. Can't tolerate the polish and would have respiratory issuses. It all makes sense now. THANK YOU!!!

My mom has been painting her nails all her life, she is perfectly healthy and had two perfect children smoothly.
