Woman using nail polish to please her husband

Q: My husband really likes red nail polish on my hands and feet, but I also want to pray properly. I have to remove my nail polish every time I make wudu, which is becoming very difficult. 

I’ve heard about halal/water-permeable nail polish. After making wudu, if I apply it, can I pray with it, or does it still need to be removed before every wudu? Or can I put it on after shower or wudhu and keep it on till next shower? 

Please guide me, as I’m very confused and no one has been able to give me a clear answer. 

Water entering the piercing hole when making ghusl

Q: If I get new ear piercings, is ghusl valid if I don't twist or move the ear studs? I am told by the piercer that the new piercing shouldn't be touched or twisted as it affects healing. The ear stud rests against my skin. I'm not sure if it can be classified as so tight that water doesn't reach the skin the ear stud rests on. 

Is ghusl valid without touching the ear studs? If I move it back and forth then it will affect healing or cause it to bleed in the shower.

Toenail reconstruction for a permanently damaged toenail

Q: I am a Muslim woman and have a permanently damaged toenail due to trauma. Although it is not causing physical problems, the appearance of the nail causes me significant embarrassment and distress and affects my confidence. 

I am getting married soon and would like to know whether it is permissible to use a cosmetic toenail reconstruction or similar treatment to restore the appearance of the damaged nail. My intention is not simply beautification, but to conceal and correct a defect that resulted from injury and that causes me considerable emotional distress. 

If such a treatment forms a layer over the nail, how would this affect the validity of wudu? Is there any allowance in this situation, or would it need to be removed for wudu?
