​

Abstract: Nail shines has been advancing observably somewhat recently, some nail clean brands adding names revealing the rejection of specific poisonous fixing, for example, lead, cadmium, chromium, nickel which are added as fixings can be found in follow sum. Ingesting high levels of heavy metals can result in behavioral problems, stomach irritation, reproductive and immune toxicity and cancer. The point of this study is to analyze the degree of weighty metals in various brands of nail clean sold in market and evaluate the potential dangers related with their utilization. In this work corrosive absorption process was utilized for test arrangement and assurance of Number of weighty metals including Disc, Co, Cr, Ni, and Pb. To know the concentration of metals calibration curve was prepared practicing AAS (Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy), by which the concentrations of branded and local nail enamels inspected and gauge its potential health threat.
