Washing of One Who Has Nail Polish

Question
What is the ruling for someone who has bathed while having nail polish on their nails?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: It does not suffice for washing; because the polish forms a barrier layer that prevents water from reaching the nail. See: Sharh Al-Wiqayah, p. 91-92, and God knows best.
