Applying nail polish

Q:

1. Is applying nail polish during haidh period permissible as we don't have to make wudhu to pray fardh namaz and when we make ghusl we remove it using nail polish remover?

2. Does applying nail polish amount to imitating kuffaar?

3. Can we use other make up items like lipsticks, mascara etc?

4. Are we allowed to dye (water proof dye) our hair other than black when in haidh period?

Hair dyes

Q: There are many colour dyes available in the market. It is said that using these dyes are haraam because it contains chemicals if they are applied on beard they prevent the hair from getting wet. It is obligatory that the beard should get wet while doing wudhu else our wudhu is invalid. Please clarify? Do these latest dyes cover the hair with a layer like nail polish or they bleach the hair with colour? Even if we use these chemical dyes the hair gets wet and washed while bathing. I fail to understand how only while doing wudhu they don’t get wet and washed? This defies logic and science. Please advise.
