Nail Art for Muslim Women
Coloring nails with a lacquer is not a muslim tradition. So does polishing them.
Moreover, the lacquer prevent the nails to be cleansed by ablution.
Instead of coloring, nail extensions are also prohibited in Islam because it was to change Allah’s creation.
Unfortunately, nail polish causes more than admiring glances. Regular commercial polish is full of dangerous chemicals that pose serious health threats to humans.
TOLUENE
Toluene is used as a solvent in nail polish, meaning that it dissolves other chemicals to create a solution. It's a dangerous chemical that causes birth defects in animals, affects the central nervous system and is fatal if swallowed.
FORMALDEHYDE
Formaldehyde is another solvent with a hefty health risk attached: It's a known carcinogen, which means that it causes cancer, no question. The fumes of formaldehyde are irritating to mucus membranes in the eyes, nose and throat.
ETHYL ACETATE
Ethyl acetate evaporates from the nail, which causes the polish to dry and harden. This means that you're breathing in the fumes from the chemical as your manicure sets. This solvent can pass through the skin, and prolonged exposure to the fumes can lead to lung, heart, kidney, and liver damage.
Butyl acetate is also a solvent used in nail polishes; it's toxic, and causes irritation to eyes, skin and lungs.
BUTYL ACETATE
DIBUTYL PHTHALATE
Phthalates are easily absorbed chemicals that keep nail polish chip-free. The European Union has banned them, but they're legal in the United States. They're linked to early puberty in girls, low sperm count in men, sexual deformities and problems with fetal development.
Dibutyl phthalate is often replaced with phthalic anhydride, which isn't much better. This chemical is also a major health concern. It may be toxic to human immune and respiratory systems, and can cause cancer, organ damage, and membrane irritation.
PHTHALIC ANHYDRIDE
However, for a married Muslim woman, henna is allowed to be used to throne themselves as a wife.
Plus, henna has its own advantages in which it can strengthen our nails. The henna does not coat the nails but it was absorbed as it was left by several hours during the procedure of using it. Therefore our ablutions are said to be perfect even if a woman wears henna, unlike the nail lacquer.
Also we are not allowed to keep our nails grow long. Immediately cut off the nails when it has grown long.
Islam has given a period of 40 days to keep their nails long. If it was more than 40 days, then we must cut it.

Kisah Cinta Rasulullah & Siti Aisyah: act 1
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Suatu hari, ada sahabat Rasulullah yang pandai masak telah memasak makanan yang enak-enak lalu dia ke rumah Rasulullah untuk meminta Baginda merasa makanan tu..
Lalu Rasulullah bertanya kepadanya "ini bagaimana?" sambil mengisyaratkan Aisyah di sisinya. Maka sahabat pun jawab "tidak".
Rasulullah pun jawab "saya pun tidak mahu".
Sahabat tu pun balik. Tapi, dia datang semula ke rumah baginda. Walaubagaimanapun, dia ajak lagi...
Rasulullah tanya lagi kepadanya. "ini bagaimana?" masih lagi mengisyaratkan pada Aisyah. Sahabat itu masih dengan jawapan yang sama.
Dan Rasulullah terus menjawab, memberi jawapan yang sama juga; "saya pun tidak mahu".
Sudah 3 kali sahabat tu ulang alik, tetapi Rasulullah masih menolak sebab Aisyah tak diajak sekali.
