Removing Nailpolish?

I am scheduled for surgery tomorrow (yay!) and just had pre-op yesterday. Nobody mentioned my nailpolish -- all 8 people who saw me. But I'm reading in the paperwork, don't wear nailpolish.

I have shellac on my nails and it's a pain to remove. Did anyone get by without removing nailpolish??

Thanks for posting cuz I was going to make mine all pretty before I go in. Never mind! LOL

That's exactly what I did! A mani/pedi! :)

I have plans to get a mani pedi next weekend before mine. I will just leave off the polish, Hope you are recovering well. thanks for posting this because i might not have even thought about it. Have a super day going home!

When I remove mine at home I can do all nails in 15-20minutes. Its never been a problem for me.

Sannah, I do mine at home as well. I was referring to whether the dr. would be willing to go thru the hassle of finding the acetone and waiting the 15-20 min. for the polish to come off.

Hi everyone, as it turns out, they DID want it off but they did't have pure acetone. I took the polish off my toes as a gesture of good will, but they were able to use the finger sensor without problems. :)

Thank goodness because my nails break and peel, shellac is the best stuff!

Glad you are on your way to recovery.
