I have bought some nail polish, in one o my favourite colours, but I recently chewed my nails down to the bed. So I need to wait a bit before I try it. Also someone here once wrote something about causing allergies if one is not careful, so I am also hesitant because of that. Is that a real threat, or just bogus?=
I did develop allergies to generic non-gel nail polish. I start getting rashes about 22 hours after I put any on. In my case I think it's a problem with the solvent used in most of them, maybe Butyl Acetate? I never bit my nails tho, no idea if that makes it worse. I think it's just something to be aware of and stop painting at least for a while if you notice any contact dermatitis or anything.
