So, uh, i painted my nails (for the first time since i was a kid) last night. They look rough i love it. That’s beside the question, i waited patiently for my nails to dry. Right? Hooray me for not Oh! Squirrel!ing. For I don’t know how many hours afterward, they stank like ammonia or something. I wanted to pet my cats but my nails were too stinky. They would not allow it. So how do I make my nails stop stinking faster so I can get back to petting my cats?

edit: follow up do they make nail polish that smells like catnip

    Don’t they have UV nail polish and could that contain different chemicals that dont stink as badly? I’m out of my element here.

      The UV nail polishes generally have some kind of acrylate. Every time you come into contact with uncured acrylates, there is a chance of developing an allergy to it, which means that the use of medical acrylates becomes much more dangerous if not impossible.

        i mean, don’t you have a chance of developing an allergy to everything every new time you come into contact with it? i thought you couldn’t get an allergy until your second exposure because you first had to have antibodies in your system

          Some compounds are allergenic irritants, they irritate the body until an allergy develops. If a substance is not an irritant and “allergenic” then there’s generally no process for it to become an allergy
