Halacha - nail polish
Submitted by anonymous Answered by Rav Peretz Moncharsh
Question:
Answer: There is no specific Halacha regarding nail polish and its colors. However, the basic premise of Tznius is to avoid anything which draws undue attention. Therefore, a color of nailpolish which draws attention to the wearer would not be allowed.
