Answers:
Well in my years of the EMS service I have never heard of this!. But from personal knowledge in the EMS service you are more then likely allergic to a substance in the nail polish!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Nails can't get sunburned!. Thats like asking if your teeth can get sunburned!. My guess is the nail polish has tinted your nails!. It happens to me all the time as I continiously paint my nails!. If the nail polish is really strong then it will do that!.
Your skin has possibly taken a bad reaction to the nail polish remover or even the nail polish itself!. Next time try a different polish remover with a different base!.
Either that or you've burned around your nails but then it depends how long you were in the sun for o-o; it's very unusual to ge burned on the fingers!.
Well try alo vera to soothe it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

God I hope not! I burn everywhere else so I would like to not burn there as well!.

You might be having a reaction to the polish or what you used to take it off!. I would go to your doctor and have them take a look!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Ive never heard of sunburnt nails!.!.!. maybe your were allergic to the nail polish, perhaps!? Or allergic to the polish remover!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
