My cat is 2, male, and neutered

Wanting to know if dried (not wet or in any form liquid) nail polish is toxic to cats? I do my own nails time to time and of course they slowly chip, if my cat happens to ever ingest these completely dried chips, is it something to be concerned about? Sometimes when I give him a treat by hand, he ends up chomping my finger too, and there is a possibly he chips my nail polish with his chomps too, is that also something to be concerned about?

Hi
I don't think it's a good idea for him to ingest these little pieces.

When the polish starts to chip, it might be good to remove it :)

Will do! I just am wanting to know if it’s toxic enough for me to be rushing to the vet? They are completely dry tiny flakes

I'm not a vet, but I'm thinking if he's not throwing up or acting odd, it's not an emergency.
