    I read on a previous post that some public hospitals will make you remove your toenail polish because they need to check your circulation by the colour of the nails. So don't get one too close to the due date.

    That's so true and not just in HK, I think. People repeat stuff they've heard without ever questioning where it comes from or if it could possibly be true!
