Nail Varnish on girls

Hi,
DD came home today and said her best friend was sent to the office and made to remove her nail varnish.

Her other friend had to last week after a woman from the office came into assembly and stood in front of the whole year with nail varnish remover and waved it about and said ‘Nail varnish off, girls.’
Then she walked around and checked girls’ nails.

They both love nail varnish and both cried after it was removed.

I make sure DD’s is removed before school but do you agree with schools getting girls to remove it and would you mind if they made your daughter remove hers?

I think it's a bit dramatic but a lot of schools are like that. My daughter's friend forgot to take off her nail polish after culture day though and the teacher just said please make sure it's off by tomorrow. Or they'll get given detentions but I don't think they can be bothered to actually make them remove it. My daughter says some teachers would though.

Although, it is a rule that pretty much every secondary has so I don't think it's ridiculous to follow it?? I know you've said the girls loved nail polish but I personally think crying over removed nail polish is a bit silly! I think they will live without it even if the school are taking extreme measures.
