The Reason for Prohibiting Nail Polish

Question
Is the reason for prohibiting nail polish the alteration of God's creation, or is it due to not showing adornment outside the home?
Answer
I say, and with God's guidance: Nail polish is not forbidden if you do not adorn yourself with it for strangers, provided that you remove it when performing ablution; as ablution is not valid with it, and God knows best.
