I love wearing nail polish,I change at least every 3 days and now my nails have turned a yellowish tone.Help?

Now i don't wear nail polish as much because my school doesn't permit it. I don't really like to wear base coat and my friend said I need to use base coat because it helps protect our nails from the nail polish remover. Is this true?I am now wearing base coat whenever I wear nail polish but how else can I make my nails healthy again?


thanks!

Just go without nail polish for a while and they should clear up. Your nail's need to breathe. Wearing nail polish all the time cuts off the oxygen to your nails and that's why they turned yellowish. And if you don't let them breathe you could develop a fungus under the nail. Good Luck! I hope this helps.
Reply:Take a fresh lemon juice and salt and srub your finger tips with a brush, do that a couple of times and see what develops! Trust me yiu will like the results!!!
Reply:certain nail polishes [especially red] has this stuff that tends to turn you nails yellow also since you are using acetone so often that is also causing you nails to turn yellow the base coat doesnt really help all that much against the acetone bc it come right off when you use it...if you want you nails to be healthy limit using the acetone one a week and let you nails breathe for a day or so [ in other words dont paint em of a day or so]
Reply:lay off the nail polish for a little bit. that happened to me and i did not wear any for a week and they were not yellow. but whenever you do wear polish a base coat is a must.
Reply:base coat, base coat, base coat. Try cleaning them with lemon to get rid of the yellow. Good luck !!!
Reply:Hi. I am no expert on this but as a concerned person i suggest you stop wearing nail polish or applying anything else till the yellow marks disappear. Maybe the chemical constituents of the nail polish is resulting in a reaction with your nail surface. Use more nature based products or even better don't use any products on your nails at all till the discolouration goes away.
Reply:A base coat is a must, especially if you're using darker colors.


Check your local drugstore.


They sell many products that can remove the yellow stains, and return your nails to health.
Reply:Or the yellow stains are just residue from dark or red colors . . . if you bathe regularly it will fade in a few days, remover just dries them out, use some lotion or cocoa butter after you take off polish and it shouldnt be too bad.
Reply:The base coat actually helps the nail polish stay on better and doesn't damage the nail as much as nail polish does. The yellowing in your nails that you are describing sounds like it is from wearing your nail polish - i know weird but some of the dye from the polish can stain your nail and turn it yellow. Just get a good nail polish remover and use it every second day and soak your nails in fresh lemon juice and it should be gone in a week or two. To protect your nails next time wear a base coat before putting on nail polish and it should help. Good luck!
Reply:Base coat is what keeps your nails from turning yellow! You should probably lay off the nail polish for a couple of days...really you might just have to let them grow out.
Reply:Yeah you should be using a good base coat under it. The best brands of base coats that i've found are nutrimetics but i think that it's an australian brand (not sure). Also you can buy hand creams that help the your nail colour.
