Is nail polish organic or inorganic?
"Organic" is a buzzword used in many conversations today and is generally thought tome "grown from plants" or "harvested from nTURE". Chemistry regards organic as being "made with carbon atoms" and includes things like toluene and cyanide. The active agent in nail polish is usually acetone an organic compound in the proper chemical sense. While acetone was at one time produced using an industrial acetone-butanol-ethanol fermentation process followed by distillation this does not really make it "Organic" in the popular senses any more than vodka. Modern manufacturing process for acetone starts with propylene and benzene - even more not organic in the popular sense.

What are the different parts of a fingernail?
Nail Plate: The hard surface of the nail that you can see. Nail Bed: All of the soft tissue beneath the nail. Lanula: The half moon at the base of the nail. While some are hidden, they are usually visible on the thumb. Did you know that it is thought that the lanula is actually a reflection of light. Matrix: This area is located beneath the cuticle. This is where all the growth of the nail takes place. The area contains nerves and blood vessels to nourish the new nail. Cuticle: The skin that overlaps the nail plate is called the cuticle. Allowing the skin to dry out is the reason for the development of hangnails. Nail Folds: The skin that surrounds and supports the nail on three sides, holding it in place. Nail fungus infections often occur in this area.

Vapors are irritating to the eyes. Splashes may cause severe irritation, with stinging, tearing, redness and pain.
Chronic Exposure:
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may produce severe irritation or dermatitis.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions:
Use of alcoholic beverages enhances toxic effects. Exposure may increase the toxic potential of chlorinated hydrocarbons, such as chloroform, trichloroethane.
Inhalation:
Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention.

Aspiration hazard. If swallowed, vomiting may occur spontaneously, but DO NOT INDUCE. If vomiting occurs, keep head below hips to prevent aspiration into lungs. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Call a physician immediately.

Another answer:
Choose a variety of nail polish that contains the LEAST amount of harmful toxins as possible, and always apply it in a well ventilated area.
Try to avoid using nail polish containing the following potentially hazardous materials:
Dibutyl Phthalate, or DBP. Lab tests link this chemical to cancer in lab animals, and to underdeveloped genitals and other fertility problems in newborn boys. Tests have shown Phthalates to affect hormone function, and studies link them to early puberty in girls and low sperm counts in men. Repeated exposure may cause nausea, vomiting, tearing of the eyes, dizziness, and headaches. Long term exposure may cause damage to the kidneys and liver. The US FDA doesn't require that cosmetics be tested for long-term effects before coming to market; nor is it requiring companies stop using DBP.
Toluene - a human reproductive and developmental toxin. It has been linked to birth defects in lab animals. It may affect a person's nervous system. Symptoms may include: Tiredness, confusion, memory loss, weakness. It it thought to also cause liver damage, and skin irritation. Higher levels may affect the kidneys as well.
Formaldehyde - has caused cancer in the nose and throat of lab animals. It is a carcinogen (could cause cancer) and an indoor pollutant. Inhalation can cause headache, watery eyes, burning in the throat, and labored breathing.
