    Since it does fine on your toes but not on your fingers, I would say it is something other than an allergy.

    Some brands have stronger smells than others so try different brands to see how they do.

    Are you being gentle with your manicure? Some people can get a little more aggressive with their manicure just because it is easier to reach than the pedicure.

    Do some research on the chemicals used to make nail polish, and you'll have a better understanding about what inhaling the fumes of those products does to your brain. Very nasty stuff in a lot of those products.

    Anything that did that to me I would stop using. Nail polish (and the remover) is bad for your nails and cuticles anyway.
    Use it up, Wear it out,
    Make it do, Or do without. ~unknown
