She also asks: What is the ruling on growing the nails long and putting nail polish on them?
Answer:
It is not permissible to leave them for more than forty days. There is no harm in leaving them up to the limit of forty days. The nail polish must be removed during wudu' (ablution) and ghusl (full ritual bath) so that it does not prevent the water from reaching the skin. As for the back of the hand, it is permissible to leave the nails up to forty days. Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: We were measured by the trimming of the beard before the midday prayer, and we were told not to leave it for more than forty days.
