Often using cheap nail polish (which is all I use), wearing
false nails or working with food lead to yellow nails. A lot of people choose
to carry on painting the nails so that the yellow isn't visible but I have
found that the best thing to do is to bleach them first and get them back to
their healthy colour before painting them again. Here are a few ways that you can try to bleach your nails:
Lemon:
Cut a ripe lemon into wedges and rub them on your nail bed
for about 5-10 minutes. If you have cracked or raw cuticles, try to avoid
getting the lemon juice on them as it will sting like crazy! If you don’t have
fresh lemons you can use lemon juice in hot water and soak your nails for about
10 minutes. I find that fresh lemon works best.
Whitening Toothpaste:
Coat each nail with a thick layer of whitening toothpaste
and leave it on until it dries. Then take a nail brush and some hot water and
scrub it off.
Clean your house:
This may seem like an arbitrary concept, but the next time
you’re cleaning or doing the dishes, leave the rubber gloves off. The bleach in
your cleaning products will help to lift the stains. But be careful, household
cleaning products can also weaken your nails and damage your skin – so don’t overdo
it!
