Can Water Go Through Breathable Nail Polish?

Breathable nail polish has been making waves in the nail care world, particularly for those looking to keep nails healthy and for individuals who follow specific cultural or religious guidelines. But what does it really mean for nail polish to be "breathable"? One key question that often arises is whether breathable nail polish allows water to pass through.

Breathable nail polish is designed using a unique formula that creates tiny micropores once it dries. These micropores allow air and moisture to travel in and out of the nail, providing a more natural environment compared to traditional polish. Unlike regular nail polish, which forms a solid, impermeable layer on the nail, breathable polish promotes better moisture balance, which can lead to healthier nails over time.

So, does this mean that water can go through breathable nail polish? Technically, yes. While the formula isn’t the same as wearing no polish at all, it allows some level of water penetration. This is why breathable nail polish has become popular among individuals who seek to practice wudu (ablution), a washing ritual in Islamic faith. For many, breathable nail polish provides an option that respects religious practices without compromising on style.

However, it’s worth noting that not all "breathable" nail polishes are created equally. To truly ensure that water can pass through, it’s essential to choose a high-quality product that has undergone independent testing to confirm its permeability. Some nail polishes marketed as breathable may not fully meet the standards for water permeability, so consumers should always do their research.
