Question

Hello, A person sees his wife removing nail polish and filing her nails during Chol Hamoed. Is this forbidden, and if so, should he protest to his wife?

Answer

Hello and Mo'adim Lesimcha!

A woman is permitted to perform any work for the sake of adornment.

Except for cutting nails and haircuts, which the sages decreed should not be done during Chol Hamoed, so that they would be done before the festival, allowing one to enter the holiday in a neat manner.
