Any remedies for stained nails?
From wearing dark polish a lot- and also from not wearing a base coat (I find this actually makes the polish last longer) my nails have become GROSS.
All stained and yellow. I can't go without polish anymore.
Do they make anythign to get the stains out? Or any home remedies?

I've heard soaking your nails in lemon juice works, but I've never tried it.
IDK if they still have those kiosks in the mall, but I got suckered into buying one of those Dead Sea nail buffer kits a few years ago, and my nails actually never looked better than when I was using that - very healthy and shiny.

I 2nd the lemon juice.
also what I do now, to make polish last is use a base but apply one coat of the color...heavy enought to coat.
then Quick dry top coat.

So one coat of color instead of 2? This makes it last longer?
Interesting!

Wow! I learn something new every day.
I am thinking it may be because 2 coats gets thick and starts to peel more easily.

This is going to sound weird, but if the lemon juice doesn't work, denture cleaning tabs. Drop them in a bowl of water and soak!

Hydrogen peroxide on a cotton ball works too!

I heard this as well.
Baking soda works too.
