Guest guest Posted April 28, 2000 Report Share Posted April 28, 2000 The anesthesiologist does need to see your nail beds and be able to check your capillary refill. So definitely no polish. I think it is extremely advised to remove the acrylic if it is opaque or colored (some are pink)---but shouldn't be necessary to remove all 10 nails, perhaps just one or two. fg At 01:31 PM 04/28/2000 -0700, you wrote: >Dear MGB Group, > > My friend (you guys are probably thinking this is me now) has acrylic >fingernails.
