Nails turning yellow.

Kitty777

Hello all

I have a bit of an issue with my nails turning a slight yellow color on the top half.

I assume this is because I wear nail varnish. I change my nail varnish every 1-2 weeks and I do use an acetone free nail varnish remover when I do..

But does anyone have any ideas on how to stop this? I don't really want to stop wearing nail varnish

Also, I am a non smoker so it isn't that

Thanks!

You need to take breaks between wearing nail varnish for this to clear up - so a couple of days a week when your nails are bare. This is good 'hygiene' advice anyway since you're much more vulnerable to fungal infections on nails if you wear nail varnish all the time. I used to always wear it on my toes until I ended up with an infection. Now I only really wear it in sandal weather and that's helped keep everything nice and clear (sandal weather being max 4 months a year in Ireland lol!)

Using lighter colours helps it happening in the first place too. Red is the absolute worst for yellowing.

Do you use a Base Coat? If not that could also caught yellowing of the nails.

Assuming you aren't a smoker, as suggested do not wear nail varnish for long periods of time. Use a base coat too.

This was a wonder product but Tesco are no longer selling, might be some on ebay?

Gently buff it off with a pink rectangular buffer, costs about a pound
