O I wouldn't worry too much. I am a nail tech been one for 5 years n I wear a mask when at work when I'm pregnant. My daughter is.fine. n I'm sure my son will be too. I've worn fake nails my whole pregnancy x 2. A lot of woman do. Having something absorb thru your nail bed and too the baby....very unlikely. Dying your hair is another story because of hair follicles can absorb.
But I did both Nails n dyed my hair and so have millions of other woman. Its a person.al choice. You want to feel pretty during pregnancy too...:)

Besides fumes being a factor anything that is absorbed into your skin or nails gets into your system.

The fumes are the biggest concern....if you do try to wear a mask and take many breaks to get some fresh air
