Answer:

Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds; and blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions.

A woman can pray with her makeup and nail polish in her house or in any other place where no alien man can see her. But if she needs to make Wudu or bath (Ghusul) then she has to remove only that makeup or nail polish which stops water from reaching her skin. Any other makeup could be left without removal.
Allah knows best.
