Can fungus live in nail polish? Basically, if I get a manicure, could I get a nail fungus from the polish?
Caring asked:
I have heard that people can get various infections if the nail salons don’t clean the tools correctly. I know of a place that does clean their supplies and even disinfect and scrub the foot soak stations, but I was wondering if the nail polish itself can harbor fungus. Does anyone know if it is too toxic, or can it allow fungus to grow?

i highly doubt it. i’ve never heard of that happening, and i think that nail polish would be pretty hard for anything to live in.
mabe,only if someone who was using it had a fungus.
its very unlikely you will get it from the polish because the main ingredient is ethyl alcohol which will kill bacteria and/or fungus. You could very easily contract and infection from the files/drills/buffers/ ect. you can purchase your own kit for probably around 5 bucks and they will set aside tools for use on only your hands. Its definitly what i would reccomend because many people contract staph infections from manicures and those can be very serious.
