Manicure/Pedicure

It's my birthday today and I would really like to take myself out to get a manicure and pedicure . I've heard it's not good to do because of the acetone exposure . But I never get my nails done so would it be safe ?

I got my nails done I wore a mask (I asked them if they can give me one) and I sat near the entrance.

I think it would be okay. Being a cosmetologist I've done lots of lady's nails just if you get dizzy or the smell is overwhelming just ask to step out side. Have fun with the pedi

Go get a mani pedi and enjoy. I got acrylics done with my first few pregnancies. I now do my nails at home and still have the acetone exposure, it is ventilation you need to be concerned with. Sit in a ventilated area of the nail shop.
