You will be sick!: If swallowing nailpolish remover (usually acetone) you would be very sick. Acetone is a volatile hydrocarbon and it would poison your lungs and central nervous system, for starters. CNS effects include somnolence, headache, uncoordination, dizziness, blurred vision, weakness, fatigue, lethargy, stupor, seizures, and coma. Get medical attention now if you have done this.
