Ways to Get Rid of Stained Nails

There are various reasons why one is plagued with the extremely unfashionable yellow stained nails. Health disorders are one reason, since jaundice and other such diseases cause internal damage which in turn affects your nails. Another cause could be smoking, since nicotine causes nails to turn yellow. But women usually face yellow nails due to infinite use of dark colored nail polishes. So once you have been victimized by such a horrendous problem, how do you rectify it?

There are several remedies that can help you in this quest of yours.

• Adding lemon juice on the stained nails can help. What you can do is take a lemon and squeeze out its juice. Apply that juice on your finger nails, and let it stay for a while. After a couple of minutes, buff out the stain. You’ll see a subtle difference. Keep on repeating this for several days, and you’ll see vast improvement in your nails.
• Using peroxide toothpaste can help you too. Take some peroxide toothpaste on an old toothbrush and rub your nails gently with it. Repeat this for a few days, and voila, you’ll see your perfect nails emerge.
