Here is a link to an interesting article from Time magazine on the Worst jobs in America (nail salon worker is up there):
http://www.time.com/time/business/article/0,8599,1648055,00.htm
Essentially nail polish and nail polish remover are filled with an array of very toxic products. ex: toluene - a carcinogenic, formaldehyde - a carcinogenic.
If you want to keep on painting your nails here are some good alternatives: CND, ORLY, Lh Colour, ZOYA. These products have recently been developed without some of the harmful chemicals like formaldehyde, toluene, and dibutyl-pthalate (DBP) which has been shown to make their way into breast milk.
I have chosen to go nail polish free because of these reasons and because I suck at applying it - and clearly don't want to go to a nail salon.
Free yourself!
