Fingernails in Havdalah and in General
Question
For the blessing “Who creates the lights of fire,” people look at their fingernails. If they have nail polish and all kinds of colors on them, is that okay?
If someone isn’t trashy, is it still appropriate to put on nail polish and all kinds of colors?
What about interposition for immersion in a mikveh and for ritual hand-washing?

Answer
For consulting to nail salons I charge a special rate. But only if it’s a salon without trashy girls.
Is free consulting available for a salon with trashy girls?
