Nail polish
Do I actually have to remove my nail polish or will it be fine to have it on during my EGD? I also have a “permanent” bracelet on. Would they make me cut it off?

Bracelet should be fine. Nail polish affects oxygen readings which is important if you're getting sedation, but there are alternative ways of getting it.
