Does Nail polish have led paint in it?

I was bitting my nail and swallowed a little peice of it by accident and someone has told my nailpolish has ledpaint in it.Someone else told me if it did they wouldent sell it in stores because its against the law.So can someone help me out?Does Nail polish have led paint in it?
In my EPA training as a lead-based paint inspector and lead risk assessor, they covered other sources of lead poisoning. Occupational (battery factory), recreational (shooting, casting your own bullets), cultural (certain middle eastern and Asian spices and some traditional medicines), etc.





But nail polish was never mentioned. Maybe it could have been a issue if it was from 1900 or 1930 before lead was taken out of most products. It was greatly reduced after 1950 and mandated out of paints in 1978.





A modern nail polish? No lead in it, for sure.Does Nail polish have led paint in it?
I don't know about the lead, but that small amount really shouldn't cause any problems.
nope it shouldnt have leddy p.. and u really shouldnt bite ur nails either... but ya... read bottle or call da help number if u really concern about it
Can you read the label written by the manufacturer?
No. Nail polish is a Laquer based paint,, and it does not have lead in it, and while it wouldn't be a good idea to ingest nail polish in great quantities , A one time flake of paint getting into your system shouldn't cause you any Ill effects.
