In this conversational YouTube video, host Gülen Gündüz Yılmaz, together with guests Zehra, Çiğdem and an unnamed co‑host (Speaker B), explores the cultural, psychological and health dimensions of nail polish (oje) for modern women. They argue that nail polish is a socially coded signal linking personal grooming to perceived femininity, professional success and sexual attractiveness, yet it is not inherently feminine but rather a tool women use within a patriarchal framework. The discussion moves to personal narratives of long‑term nail‑polish use, the health hazards of regular and gel (permanent) polishes—including nail damage and potential carcinogenic risks—supported by references to emerging scientific studies. Gülen describes her gradual quitting process, starting with stopping winter foot polish, then abandoning gel polish, and finally eliminating all polish, emphasizing the psychological struggle akin to quitting alcohol. The conversation also touches on how these beauty norms affect children, with a mother’s daughter questioning the absence of polish, highlighting intergenerational transmission of beauty codes. They critique the cosmetics industry’s reliance on these internalized messages to sustain sales, urging viewers to develop conscious awareness, adopt chemical‑free lifestyles, and join their educational programs and community initiatives. The video concludes with a call to action for further training and community engagement.
