Bio gel nails

Are you allowed gel nails on for the surgery??!! Just realised I might have to soak them off when it’s my turn….I love my nails!!! Xx

You will have to soak them off Hun sorry I was gutted at that as well x x

Ah man!! That’s a bummer. I’ll be booking to get them put back on a few days after I’m done then. Don’t feel myself with bare nails X

I was gutted too and my acrylics has to come off but it’s so the anethasist can see your natural nail colour z

Does anyone know if you can keep shellac on your toenails?

They told me that sometimes they allow you to keep your nails on as long as you have nothing on your toes. Probably best to ask your nurse at the pre op x

I’ve been told before with general anaesthetic its because they often measure oxygen levels by clipping something into your finger- if you have shellac/gel/polish on it can stop the oxygen being read. It’s happened to me before where docs have worried that my oxygen was too low, but soon as I took the shellac off and re-tested it was totally fine. Xx

Onto your finger- stupid predictive text!
