I really am not sure but it might be possible.

It depends on the nail polish. There are three chemicals nicknamed the "Big 3"--formaldehyde, toluene and dibutyl phthalate. Formaldehyde causes cancer. Toluene causes nervous system damage, and dibutyl phthalate interferes with your hormone system. Those three chemicals are not used to make nail polish anymore, but you may have some made when they were. If you see "Big 3 Free" on polish, the polish was made without them.

Well there are ALOT of chemicals in nailpolish. There's this one that prevents your nails from chipping and it's really bad for you. If your worried about it, buy organic nail polish or just nailpolish without certain chemicals. Try not to breath it in to much, I love nailpolish and wear it like every week, but the kind I get has no bad chemicals. Check the ingrediants, it'll say. I honestly dont know the names cuz there long, look them up then watch the nailpolish you use. Hope this helps! :)

No, you can't get cancer from wearing makeup, unless you use makeup as a substitute for sun tan lotion, in which case it's possible to get skin cancer.

Is wearing makeup bad?

Wearing makeup is a personal choice and it is not inherently bad. However, it is important to use makeup in moderation and choose products that are safe for your skin to avoid any potential negative effects. It's always a good idea to take breaks from wearing makeup to allow your skin to breathe and regenerate.

It doesn't mean anything more than she wants to look good; she can be wearing makeup because she is breaking out and feeling a little self conscious, or she can be wearing makeup to enhance her appearance. It's no cause for worry.


What is a good age to start makeup?

I think girls should start wearing makeup whenever they feel like it (not feel pressured to wear it just because other girls their age are wearing it). But I think that a good age to start wearing makeup (apart from special occasions e.g. wedding, etc) is about 11. I started wearing makeup (just mascara and eyeliner) when I was about 11, and when I was 13 I started wearing proper makeup (foundation, lipstick, etc) :)

Is It seems as though my face does not want to cooperate with any makeup i'm wearing grammatically correct?

If you are asking if this is a grammatically correct sentence, it is. However, the "i" in "i'm" should be capitalized. I would take it another step and say that if you're not going to use the contracted form of "does not", then be consistent and write "I am". "It seems as though my face does not want to cooperate with any makeup I am wearing." "It seems as though my face doesn't want to cooperate with any makeup I'm wearing."
