The question text was not published separately; the title stands in for it.

Is it permissible for a woman to pray with her nails polished?

Answer

If would be permissible if, a) It does not contain any Haraam ingredients, b) It was put on after Wudhu.

Since nail polish prevents water from reaching the nails, Wudhu done with nail polish on is not valid.
