nope it takes a lot of sniffing for a few years to do anything detrimental to you.

If you mean by getting "drugged" or something no.
I don't sniff nail polish because of getting high but I smell it just to see what it smells like. Even if you sniff deeply for 2 seconds or somehting you still wont get "high".
Thats ok its not dangerous.

The only way you can be affected by chemicals in nail polish, sharpies, white out, etc, is to actually PURPOSELY sniff for more than a minute. Its OK if your painting your nails for ten minutes, as long as you don't have the bottle up to your nose.

Please do NOT inhale ANY types of fumes or chemical vapors for even a second! My friend has a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) from inhalant use at the age of 12, now in her 30s.
Other risks of huffing include sight loss/blindness, heart/liver/kidney damage, seizures, limb spasms, hearing loss and even death, all of which can happen after the very FIRST time of use.
For more information about the dangers of huffing - National Inhalant Prevention Coalition: http://www.inhalants.org/
When you polish your nails or use nail polish remover, please make sure that the room is well-ventilated including keeping the windows and door open. (Better yet, please do so outside). Please do take good care of yourself and make good, healthy choices in life.
