You're going to have a pulse oximeter on. You can't have nail polish on or it won't be able to read the percentage of oxygen in your blood.

    I wasn't allowed varnish on my fingernails, but having it on my toe nails was fine, especially as I had to wear the compression socks anyway! Go for that pedicure, I say!!
