First of all, nails do not need to 'breathe.' They are made of dead keratin cells. They do not have lungs or gills! I don't have any idea where this ridiculous idea of nails needing to breathe all began, but it is so not true!


Yes, you can lightly buff it off. However, the best way to deal with it is to prevent it from happening in the first place. How? Simple. Always use a good quality base coat prior to applying polish. Base coat does three things. 1) It helps to form a barrier between your natural nails and the polish - thus it will prevent your nails from staining. 2) It acts as a sort of double sided tape which will help you polish to adhere better to your natural nails which, in turn, makes it last longer, and 3) It will help the polish to glide on the nail which makes it much easier to apply it smoothly.


Again, make sure the base coat you choose is good quality. Base coats are not created equal. In other words, don't skimp on this. Spend a few extra dollars on it to be sure you are getting a good quality product. The cheap brands do not work as well.How do i remove the yellow tinge that nail polish leaves on nails?
The best thing to do is to put Base color before putting the nail color on. It protects your nail from becoming yellowish. Also it is a good idea to buff while cleaning them. nails should be dry when you that and the buffer should be softest possible.


Base color you can get in the nail section or in the nail salon. It is usually pink transparent in color and you will see It says base color.
Ok. Sooo


1) Nails DO need to breathe but


2)This is not the cause of the discoloration.





It's not breathing literally but the nail needs fresh air and not to be trapped in there. But what stains it IS the nail polish so remove the nail polish and wait for the nail to grow out. Do not buff them with a nail file (unless it's one of those smooth ones to buff your nails but those wno't buff the yellow out) as this is really unhealthy and weakens the nail. When the nail has grown out and it's no longer yellow, apply a base coat and then the nail color. Ta da! All done %26amp; safe.
sometimes that can be discoloration of the actual nail.. i had to go to the doctor about mine once %26amp; turns out i wear nail polish to much and the nails couldn't breath.. so they change color


so just keep the polish off for a week or something, also a buffer can remove almost all of it..





EDIT: wendy, are you a doctor? i got this ';ridiculous idea'; from my doctor.. it has nothing to do with quality, if you have nail polish on 24/7 it will happen.


%26amp; just because we say they need to breath doesnt mean they need lungs.lol
Omgoodness, i have had so much experience with this! I love to paint my nails, and i rarely have no polish on them, but when i found out i was actually harming my nails, because they needed to breath i stopped wearing polish....for about a day haha. My nails were soooo ugly and yellow i couldnt stand 2 walk around like that. So just letting them ';air out'; didnt work for me. I ended up just going to a nail salon and having them buff them out (which is just basically scratching off the top yellow layer of your nail) it was quick and cheap and it worked! I hope this helped : )
if it is from the nail polish, you can remove it with a vinegar. Soak your nails for 15 min, repeat next day
It's from wearing nail polish
Buff them! or use lemon juice.
