Yes and no. There was a study that came out in June 2012 that showed some potential dangers: as CBS News reported it, "Chemicals commonly found in beauty products such as nail polishes, hair sprays and perfumes may increase risk of Diabetes for some women, new research suggests." The research pointed out that beauty products are often high in chemical compounds known as phthalates: the study showed that in some women, these chemicals disrupted the endocrine system.

But before you stop wearing nail polish, the report did not say that diabetics should immediately avoid all beauty products. In fact, this particular type of chemical compound is found in a number of other products, many found around the home. The study was a first step in trying to learn more about environmental risks and dangers of these commonly used chemicals. The report seemed to indicate caution-- some women with diabetes seem to be affected, but others do not. At this point, I would recommend discussing the study's findings with your doctor, and following his or her advice.

Can toenail fungus live in nail polish?

Yes! A toenail fungus can live between the nail and the polish. Also, the polish should definitely be discarded after use on infected nails. You can pick up a bottle of nail fungus remover over the counter at most pharmacies. You will be better off to keep polish of your nails until the fungus is gone. (I learned this while in college for Nail Technology).

Will toenail polish cause toenails to be unhealthy?

Well, your toenails have pores. so they need to breathe. The best thing is not to wear nail polish all the time, and when you take your nail polish off, leave it off for about a week before painting them again. --- Toenails only have pores if the "shine" of the nail is removed- your nails don't swell and fall off when you have a shower. The nail polish remover is the main problem because of the potent chemicals used to remove the varnish. You can actually get white flecks on toenails that look like toenail fungus, but they are not. But constant use of remover can damage your toenail.


Does nail polish cure toenail fungus?

That is insanely wrong. It can even cause you toenail fungus because there are some claims that fungus could live on nail polish. When you apply nail polish on toenail fungus it only worsen your situation. So better stay out of it when you have a toenail fungus.
