Muslims perform the wudu before prayers. Wudu is an Islamic procedure for washing parts of the body using water. It is a cleansing ritual that is obligatory to all Muslims as “cleanliness is half of faith”. So how does nail polish affects this process?

Water and air need to permeate the nails. In other words, the nails need to continue to breathe freely and water needs to travel from side to side in order to clean the nails during the wudu process. In order to test the permeability of nail polish, it has to be tested in a lab. Oxygen must be able to permeate the film. Then hydrogen attached to oxygen can travel through the surface of the film and therefore enable water to transfer from one side of the film to the other side while the nail continues to breathe.
