Well I looked and looked for safety data tha tcould actually find Teflon to
be harmful but I just couldnt find anything that tells me it is.....which I
guess is why it's apllied to well nearly everything you can imagine these
days. The only harmful thing I could find is that if you heat a frying pan
coated with Teflon to about 400 degress then the smoke coming from the
burnt pan could kill your pet birds, but almost definately not kill
mammals and humans.
But if your looking for information on Telfon look at the Dupont Website
dedicated to Telfon at
Dupont Teflon
or the FAQ is good for general stuff

Oh but I guess I should mention that some people will be allergic to
products no matter how safe they might be so really you can only try them
and find out, thats why most cosmetics have the warning on the back, to
"discontinue if irritation occurs".
Hope that relieves you of your concerns and I hope those nails
glimmer,
