It really depends on the chemicals in the nail polish. That has been said because of the smell. You can paint your nails and be fine but never use nail polish remover. It can be like giving drugs to you baby.

You can paint them...what they DON"T want you to do is go sit in the nail salon..that fumes is what is harmful. Just paint your nails at home until the baby is born

To some degree, yes.
The solvent in nail polish is toxic but the odor goes away pretty quickly.
You'd be better off being sure that you don't use drugs or drink intoxicating beverages during pregnancy.

No you can. Just be careful with the cleaner-do it over a sink and try not to breathe the vapors because it is acetone. THere has to be a large amount but I always play it safe.

As long as u do it in a well ventilated area u'll b fine... They just don't want u inhaling the fumes!
Always wait to do things like that until your second semester just to be safe!! Luckxoxo

Amongst other things; not true. Go ahead and paint them.

You can paint them, but be in a well aired out room.

it's fine to paint nails. check ingredients and make sure formaldehyde isn't one of them, otherwise perfectly safe.
