Interviewing - what puts you off someone?

I have an interview tomorrow (internally within current company) which is the first face-to-face one since Covid, and am wondering whether the dark turquoise nail varnish I am currently wearing is a bit off-putting for an interviewer (thinking a bit "different" or loud?) and if I should change it for a more conservative colour? The role is within the Social Care system and I will be meeting clients face to face. I really want this role so would like to make the best impression.

Shall I change it? Silly I know to worry about something as trivial as nail varnish, but I need a second opinion! May be helpful to know that I am in my 50's and don't tend to dress conservatively (will be wearing my usual 1950s style dress with boots).

What other things have put you off when interviewing someone?

Any talk of "pronouns." An instant rejection from me. I don't want that sort of shite infecting my team.
