If you sometimes remove your polish - this is a WARNING for you!

Hello beautiful readers! I am so sorry for disappearing like that. It was completely un-planned! Sadly, there is a good reason for my hiatus and I thought I should warn you all too. So this is why I was gone:

I suppose the most of you don't read hebrew, but don't you worry. I will make sure no one stays in the dark here. This is a Non-Acetone Nail Polish Remover. The kind you can buy at any drug store. And this thing is why I was away for more then a week. 

So last Sunday evening when I visited my mother, she asked me to remove her nail polish. She only had this remover but it was used before with no issues. And a non-acetone remover? I thought it would be gentle and harmless. So I grabbed it, I took a few cotton balls and I removed my mother's nail polish.
While I did, all was good. But later that night my fingers started to tingle and later they felt numb, as if I touched some super glue or something. By the next day I realized I had huge water bubbles on those three finger-tips. The bubbles that you can see if you get a serious burn from touching some hot metal or something.  I actually got burnt by a non-acetone polish remover!

Ok, here are a few important facts:

• My mother did not have any issue with the remover. Most likely because each of her fingers touched the material for a shorter period of time.
• Since my mother did not get affected, perhaps this means I am more sensitive or maybe even allergic to any of this remover's ingredients?
• I have absolutely no idea how long my mother has this remover. Could it be too old? I wouldn't know because there was no date printed on the bottle.

Here is the bottle's back tag. You don't really have to read Hebrew to understand all the signs, and the list of ingredients is in English anyway. All the long text lines are basically the common warning: do not swallow, do not touch the eyes with this product, if swallowed seak medical care, you may only use this product to it's known purpose... There is no warning against skin burn!

Finally, after a little more then a week, my fingers went back to normal. Well, naturally, the skin over the tips of my affected fingers has renewed which means it is still over sensitive to the touch. But at least I can touch stuff again! I can use my hands (almost) as usual! 

But this is a serious warning: if you are using a new polish remover that you never used before, make sure you do some skin tests first, before you disables yourself for a long time!!!

And do not trust the non-acetone polish removers... They have some very strong materials that replace the acetone... And I learnt that the hard way...
