Unless you're breathing the fumes from your nail polish directly on a regular basis, applying nail polish on occasion is relatively low risk. (This is why most nail technicians wear masks, and why nail salons should have excellent ventilation to protect staff.)
However, formulas that are listed as "free" means that they are formulated without certain so-called harmful ingredients. For example, a polish labeled "10-free" denotes that the ingredients do not include harsh chemicals such as toluene, formaldehyde, camphor, dibutyl, phthalate, xylene, or resin. You can also look for polishes that are fragrance-free, gluten-free, vegan, and cruelty-free.
