Hi, welcome to HCM,
Thank you for posting this question. It has been an eye opener for me too.
Toluene, formaldehyde, and dibutyl phthalate are the toxic trio.
Others are Acetone, Aceto nitrile, Buyul acetate, Ethyl methacrylate and many more.
Certainly they can cause tingling in lips. Regarding metallic taste, I wonder whether lead (as a base) or mercury (for shine) were also used. These are banned but you never know. Once absorbed they do not leave the body and can cause nerve, kidney and liver damage.
Other possible effects of nail chemicals- headaches; dizziness; and irritated eyes, nose throat and skin,nausea, breathing problems, vomiting, headache, exhaustion, liver damage,even cancer.
Blood tests for Lead and mercury are available.
Blood tests for Toluene, formaldehyde, and dibutyl phthalate are also available.
You can discuss all this with your doctor.
Thanks again for the question. You can revert back.
Regards
