Narrative:

A flight attendant noticed a smell as she was coming up to do demo. This was after the door had closed. I couldn't smell anything. However; after the demo I walked a little further than row 6 and then could smell something. Not pleasant. Not food or human related. The B and C thought it smelled like nail polish. It didn't smell like that to me and it was very strong. It gave me a slight headache. It's hard to describe what the smell is because I don't know what it was...sorry that isn't helpful but there was a smell. We checked the overhead bins to see if something had spilled. Everything looked normal.
