I spend a lot of time working with nail polish on my projects. I do them in my kitchen since I need a lot of space. I turn on the stove fan, the bathroom fan and open my door wall a bit. This drives my son crazy! He hates the smell. Summertime isn't a problem because I just do my projects on my balcony. It's winter time I am having a problem with. I'm hoping ya'll can give me ideas of how to get the smell out.

Have a portable fan in the room and aim it to blow out a door or window - whatever you can keep open for a bit.
Most nail polish smell very toxic. It can negatively affect you and especially growing children's neurological development. For this reason I don't allow anyone in my house to use nail polish inside, EVER. It is dangerous.
Hi Debbie. You could use a air cleaner. I would out it right in the kitchen where you are working.
You could try some of the newer polishes that are free of the biggest toxins. "Big Three Free" is one of the ad campaigns. It should say on the label since it's something the makers want to advertise. But I also agree with the other answer that even smelling that stuff from another room kills brain cells and can impair developing brains as well as damaging the brains of adults.
what type of crafts,perhaps you can change using nail polish and opt for eco-friendly paint without odor
Hi Debbie. It is a air purifier. They usually have HEPA filters that you replace.
