Conventional nail polish (nitrocellulose - petrochemical solvent based) still contains or has contained many chemicals that are known or suspect carcinogens (Toluene, Formaldehyde, DBP). There are newer products on the market with those removed or that are water based (safer). To find out if the brand you are wearing or interested in is safe, check our the non-profit Cosmetics Database to see how it rates:

If you choose to wear conventional polishes, it is not recommended to put nail polish any where other than your nails.
