A member asked:

Bit my nails that had dried polish on them. accidently swallowed some of the dried polish. tummy is now a little upset. am i going to be okay?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Should be fine: according to wikipedia, the ingredients are usually not toxic (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nail_polish#Safety). one time ingestion of a small dried up nail polish should not cause significant issues. However, if you feel worse, consider getting urgent care.
