nail polish is pretty much like paint because it is used to you know paint something and its strong fumes that will kill brain cells and you'll get high also.

Nail polish is usually dissolved in something like acetone or methyl ethyl ketone. As long as you use these chemicals in a well-ventilated area and don't continuously inhale the fumes, you are doing minimal damage.
The problem with ketones is that they are liver poisons. They can screw around with your body's ability to make enzymes. Without enought of those enzymes, you get sick. Without ANY of those enzymes, we bury you.
Sniffing briefly and shallowly, and then exhaling quickly would expose you to the minimum damage if you smell the stuff at all.
Do not use nail polish or nail polish remover in a closed room with limited ventilation. EVER.

You should go to the ER, especially if you are coughing up blood (it might be the red nail polish tho), that is toxic and you could die. You should also break up with your bf because he must not care for you if he is making you inhale toxic things, AND laughing at you while you suffer.

The amount that you smell when you're putting it on isn't a big deal. Its when its actually held up to your nose and you sniff it over and over that it starts to do some major damage to your brain cells.

solvents demyleinate the brain cells. mylein is a protective layer which stops stray electrical signals causing random abnormal firing and other things.
small ammounts wont be a severe problem.
