A member asked:

Wondering if it's dangerous to be in an enclosed room using nail varnish for hours breathing in the fumes ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Fumes are bad: Yes it is dangerous to inhale nail varnish in an enclosed room. These fumes can cause damage to nasal and bronchial cilia. Good ventilation is always best when there are fumes/vapors or strong odors.
