Racewalker48 41 Posted June 24, 2014 I wear pink and white nails and painted toes and my hospital was okay with that. As another poster stated, the staff need to be able to see your fingernail beds to determine blood flow. They can still check your O2 saturation (Pulse Ox) with the sensor over acrylic nails, but each hospital does things slightly different. I actually received information about this during my pre-admission hospital visit. It was in the paperwork I received. 1 itsmekarenlee reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
