Dealing with Leftover Gel Polish After Ghusl

As-salamu alaykum! I got my nails done for Eid, since I was on my period at the time. I went to have them professionally removed two days before my period was supposed to end, but I realized the technician didn't take everything off properly. Anyway, I got home, bought a removal kit, and filed them down so much that my nail beds actually bled. I did my best to get all the polish off and then performed ghusl. Now, almost a month later, I've noticed there's still some transparent gel polish in places... and I'm really worried. I tried filing it off again, but I've prayed so many salahs with it still there. I feel so anxious thinking I'd have to redo all my prayers from the past month because of a little polish I honestly didn't see and thought was all gone-it was really just on a few nails. Any advice would be so helpful. JazakAllah khair!

Oh no, bleeding from filing sounds painful! Maybe ask a local scholar for a fatwa specific to transparent residue? Don't worry too much, your effort counts.

Been there! I think since it was transparent and you genuinely didn't know, your prayers are valid. Focus on now and gently remove what you can.

Sis, you did your best and had the right intention. Allah is Most Merciful. Please don't stress, the scholars say it's about removing what you can.
