    oh how scary, but im pretty sure like everyone else has mentioned she shouldnt have any harm done to her, i dont think residue is as harmful as drinking the bottle iykwim?

    I would call a poisions line too just maybe to be on the safe side of things

    hoping she is alright for you and nothing happens!

    My DD2 found an OPEN () bottle of nail polish remover in DD1's bedroom and ended up with some in her eye. DH quickly rushed her to the hospital where we were told the main issues with nail polish remover arise when the remover is acetone based. Thankfully the one we had was non acetone so DD2 was fine and DD1 was banned from having anything like that in her room again.

    I also called poisons information as DH was racing out the door and they told me the same thing. They are brilliant and I have called them a few times over the years, their number is on speed dial on my phone and they're in my mobile. The number is 13 11 26
    I hope your DD will be fine
