Question

Hello, My wife has a mikvah on Saturday night, and we have a wedding on Thursday. The question is whether it is permissible to apply gel nail polish on Wednesday and immerse with it on Saturday night?

Answer

Hello,

Immersion with gel nail polish is permissible post facto.

One who applies gel nail polish must ensure that the polish is intact, as when it is not intact, it is not considered an adornment and constitutes a barrier even post facto.
