Guest guest Posted July 9, 2001 Report Share Posted July 9, 2001 Most docs now put this thingy on your finger that records your pulse and oxygen levels so the color of polish doesnt matter. check with your surgeon to make sure. If they dont require you to remove it then why should you worry about it?

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2001 Report Share Posted July 9, 2001 Howdy! You can always ask them to " buff " the nails. They put some cream on them and buff them with a mechanical buff and they look lovely and shiny, just like clear polish! Go for it!
