Question

Hello, I would like to ask the rabbi about the remnants of *adhesive* from gel polish that is almost not noticeable and only visible in the mirror (transparent). Is this a barrier for ritual immersion? Thank you very much.

Answer

Hello

If it can be removed, it should be removed.

If it cannot be removed, or it will damage the nail, and if it is not noticeable and does not stand out, in a situation where a woman does not mind going like this, it is not a barrier.
