what is your comment about my coworker, a very pious and upstanding sister who wears very sparkly nailpolish on her toes? Is this haraam?

Answer

In principle, it is not permissible for a woman to apply make-up and show her beauty to Ghayr Mahrams (people not prohibited in marriage).

Furthermore, nail polish forms a base on the nails and water cannot penetrate it, thus, Wudhu done with nail polish will not be valid.
