Yellow nails

[smurfchops]

I have just taken my nail varnish off and the underneath of my (longer) nails are yellowy. Ugh. Would anything make them look whiter as I don't want to wear dark varnish for a while, at least till some of my shorter nails grow !

Barbara Daly makes a clear nail polish called Goodbye Yellow, which has a whitening agent in it. You can also use it in the future as a base coat to stop the nails staining.

I give the kitchen a good clean with bleach and by the time I'm done my nails are nice and white again and the kitchen's clean too :)

Sounds good to me Karen - and free too.

A solution made with denture cleaning tabs is cheap and quite effective.

If you have a 'Sallys' near you they sell a nail whitening wash called 'bubble wash' it's about £1.50.

clean them with an old toothbrush and some whitening toothpaste
