Today, after having one of those weeks of feeling yuck and dreadfully tired; I treated myself to a manicure/pedicure! I had acrylic applied over my fingernails (as thin as possible - no tips), then a neutral color nail polish. When I got home my fingers were tingling. This is the second time this has happened; the salon I go to is very clean, sanitary precautions are taken with instruments etc, I am wondering if this could be a new reaction with meds and the chemicals. Dr. Oz did do a scary episode on "Nail Polish and the Cosmetic Industry" stating: how toxic and misleading companies are. Time for natural, thank you God at least it's fall and boot season. Gotta smile and try not to cry sometimes.

When you put nail polish on you are sealing your nails, they cannot breathe, they may look gorgeous but in reality, they need to breathe. Pleased that you did something for you though, it does us good. Blessings Jimeka 👍
I always figured it's just me, but much as I'd like to, I can't wear nail polish . It doesn't seem to bother my toes, but on my fingers it creates the sensation of heat (think flames not mere warmth). And most facial cosmetics have always made my face flush or feel hot. But, crazy as these responses sound, it probably not my MS but some reaction I have to chemicals used in cosmetic formulations.
I would do a test to see if it is their polish,I would do one finger with store bought polish and see if you have a reaction(of course wait until they don't look so pretty)
I used to bring my own....when I go back; I think I'll resume this practice. That is a great I idea, we just never know???? We have to be extra careful because of our immune system as well and sensitivity.
I wonder if it was the time your hands were slightly elevated for a longer period of time! In a past life I had my beauticians license. Nails are made of protein just like your hair. They are dead, that's why it doesn't hurt to clip or file them. Unless you are sensitive to the polish, which in that case I would imagine you would break out more than tingle. Unless your toes also reacted I wouldn't think it was the polish. I would bet more on the elevation and length of time they were not moving more than anything. If you have another manicure, next time ask for some breaks where you can lower your hands and wiggle them around. Or when one hand is being worked on lower the other and wiggle your wrist and fingers.
