Are nail polish fumes harmful to pet mice? Will my mice be okay?

Question

I make custom monster high dolls and bracelets a lot, this involves use of either spray paints, nail polishes, or just sealant with chalk pastels. I adopted 2 mice last week and without thibking today went to work on a project. This one involved nailpolish. I have the fan on and the window open but ot wasnt until the nail polish was dryinf and i smelt it that i remembered nail polish has a scent. Did i hurt my mice by working on the bracelet? Will they be okay? Pet's info: Other | Unknown - Other | Female | unspayed | 1 month and 14 days old

Since you had the room well ventilated while using the polish your mice should be fine. If this is something you will be doing frequently I would move the mice out of the room while you are using the chemicals so they won't be repeatedly exposed to it.
