Usually I use remover for nail polish changing. Tried wall paint thinner instead...made my nails getting swollen and reddish after rubbing.
Nail polish remover and thinner is almost same. But I guess its allergic for me. It made a heating sensation first n removed the polish easly with towell rubbing. After 20mins it started redness n swelling on nails.

Anything that should not go on the body, should not go on the body. Especially a thing like paint thinner. I am glad things did not get worst, don't use anything for your body that is normally meant for literally anything else. I don't care if it seems like a quicker method, it isn't worth the healthy and safety of yourself.

You used wall paint thinner?
Oh no, this is dangerous!
Only use non acetone nail varnish remover..

Why would you use paint thinner it is to harsh for skin nail polish remover is not harsh as thinner. Hope it clears up for you soon.
