Soak your fingertips in a bowl of lemon juice, or better yet - denture tablets for 5 minutes. Scrub with a soapy nailbrush, under as well as top of the nails. Dry and apply hand cream to keep your hands soft. :]


Yes, it is normal. My nails are ugly yellow/tan from using self tanner occasionally. Effervescent dental tabs work wonders.YELLOW NAILS, EWWWWWW?
i heard lemon juice is supposed to work but i havent' done it.


soak them for 20 minutes.
Yes, this is perfectly normal. Do you paint your nails a lot? That is probably what is causing the staining. I recommend applying a base coat, if you don't already use one, on your nails before putting on the polish. This way you're not applying the nail polish directly onto the nail plate. Use a nail bleach to whiten your nails and get rid of the yellowish color.





Good luck!
I was a nail biter, too for many years, then i became a manicurist. Imagine that.





Now that your nails are growing with your pregnancy and prenatal vitamines, the next thing you need to add is applying vit E oil to your nails. Your nails presently are getting the best possible nourishment, but after you deliver, your nails will go back to being brittle and slow growing. So do begin the vit E oil now, so you can ward off some of that. Use the E oil every night, or anytime you have a moment to rub it into your nails... make it a ritual!!





It is possible that your nails are picking up the yellow color from very dark red nail polishes. Instead of using dark colors, you could change to lighter colors. Please, please do not use acetone on your nails... particularly while you're pregnant. It is absorbed into your body thru your fingertips and your baby gets a dose also!!!!! And, please, don't file the tops of your nails, that only makes them thinner and more suseptable to absorbing leached color from your polish. Fingernails are jewels, not tools... OK??? Fingernails are laid down in little plates like fish scales. Every time you rough up one of those little scales, you creat a weak spot where water can enter the keratin and warp the plate out of shape. This pushes other plates out of shape and causes a weak spot.





To try to get rid of the yellow color, use fresh lemon juice as a mild bleach on your nails. If this doesn't help enough, at Sally stores, there's a product (sorta like tooth paste) that has minute polishing crystals for nails. You could try that also. Most anything else you use will damage your nails to the point that you won't be happy with them.





When polishing your nails, use a good base coat, always!!!!! then apply color and a top coat. Wear polish all the time, it helps to protect the keratin of the nails and keep your nails stronger.





Good luck, have fun with that little one!!!!!
soak your nails in a mixture of peroxide and water.
lol you killed your nails with nailpolish you can either paint over it or let it grow out its called a base coat.
nail polish stains. the best idea would be to trim them. then paint them with 2 coats of clear coat and then another color to cover up the yellow.





the clear coat will help keep them from staining again and then they can grow out normally.
This happens to women all of the time, so it has nothing to do with your pregnancy.





The nail polish thing is correct though. If you are always using dark nail polish, then the color of your nails with become yellow. I think that it has something to due with dark nail polish has different chemicals than lighter polishes.





Lay off acetone and other nail polishes, light or dark. Sally Hanson has this great nail polish strengthener. This one is my favorite!

It pretty much explains the whole thing on the page. This is why I like it:





*It made my nails not bend and break as easily.


*My nails grow faster (I pick at them sometimes).


*My nail got whiter(They look tan sometimes!), and the pink parts stayed pink.








I use it as my top coat to seal in my polish, the base coat below my polish, and sometimes, I just used it as a clear coat.
