Can I put clear gel on my nails? I'm having BBL & breast lift on Tuesday.

Thank you for your question.I wouldn’t recommend this simply because you do not want to cause any issues with the anesthesiologist getting a clear reading of your vitals. It’s best to follow the instructions of your surgeon. Best of luck.Sincerely,

I would not think clear polish would hurt anything as far as being able to get a good read of vital signs. Gel or shellac however would need to be avoided because it can make the nails too thick to read through.
