Dailymail: A ‘breathable’ nail polish, which allows water vapors to pass through to the nail, is causing a stir among devout Muslim women who are unable to wear regular polish because of the washing involved in daily prayers.
Muslims’ pre-prayer ritual includes washing the arms and face completely, where water must touch every surface – an impossible feat if a layer of paint is covering the nails.
But Inglot Cosmetics, a company from Poland which is available in the U.S. at Macy’s, has released a new line of permeable polish called O2M which will allow Muslim women the freedom to wear polish as they please.
