Help finger nails turning yellow from nail polish

Nails don't breathe. They are just like hair, dead cells formed to protect what ever part they are on. Hair protects your head from the ';elements'; and nails protect your fingers from injury (another good reason not to bite them!)





Usually the yellowing is from polish pigment. The really bad yellowing is from darker colors like burgandy's and wines and reds, etc.





There is another though...besides smoking... using a cheap base coat that contains the chemical ';nitro cellulose'; will yellow nails. Choose one wisely. Most ';drug store'; brands contain this, so you may have to go to a salon and find one.





You can try LIGHTLY buffing the nail to remove the stain. BUT don't over do it because you will make your nails thin by over buffing, and you shouldn't buff a nail more than every 6 weeks or so. You might also want to try just using a clear coat for awhile.





Good luck!

Vitaman c tablets or more milk Help finger nails turning yellow from nail polish
I AGREE WITH DAVE DONT SMOKE
its the dye from the color you have to put on a clear coat of pokish first then the color
rub half a cut lemon on them. you can try using bleach but its pretty harmful, and lemon works better. give your nails a break from the polish for a bit and use a paint on nail treatment for a week, I think Salley Hansen has a few products in her line for around 10 bucks or cheaper.

Put your fingers in room temperature water and leave them in there for about 1 and a half mins and dry them thourally and put a clear coat on and wait for that to dry then put 2 layers of the colour that you want.....try it....it works!!

its from the nail polish. give your nails a break for a while...but i have found if you soak your nails in bleach for a couple minutes it gets all the yellow off. just make sure you wash your hands super well!
YEAH I totally have the same problem as you haha

some books say that you should put a clear coat under the colour polish, and i always do that, but my nails are turning yellow, so i read this other book, and it says that sometimes u should just let your nail breathe and don't put any polish for like a wee, every month
