Using nail polish that allows water to penetrate through it is permissible if the claim is true. If it is actually true, then women using it don’t have to take it off every time they need to make Wudu.

However, if the claim is true, then they can use it while being around sisters or at parties that are segregated from men, as the Islamic tradition does not allow a woman to go out in public with materials that beautify her more than her natural beauty, such as flashy or fashion clothes, makeup, perfumes, and other similar materials.
