Get Rid of Yellow Nails

Yellow nails can be very unsightly and embarrassing. It is important to know what causes the yellowness in nails. Only when you understand the causes will you be able to treat the condition. One of the major cause of yellowness in nails is the lack of oxygen. Our nails too breathe and need oxygen to remain in good condition. So how is this oxygen supply blocked? Well, thanks to the nail polish, it completely blocks the supply of oxygen and the result is yellow and orangish nails. The best way to treat these kind of nails is to keep them free of polish for at least a week.

Do not apply nail polish everyday, allow some gap between two nail polish sessions. Too much of cosmetics can ruin your natural beauty. Moreover, poor quality nail polishes can damage the nail even further. Over use of nail polish leads to breakage of nails since it becomes weak and fragile.

Another reason for yellow nails is your dark coloured nail polish. If you are used to wearing red, maroons and blacks then you cannot expect white and clear nails. Dark nail polish triggers a chemical reaction that causes this kind of staining. If you cannot give up on dark coloured nail polishes you can reduce the damage by using a transparent base coat before applying the nail paint.

A base coat will ensure that the nail polish stays longer and your nails are protected from staining. As a remedy to nail care, you should indulge in manicure pedicure once in a month or maybe once in twenty days. You can also rub some lime on your nails to add shine and strength and remove the yellowness.

If you do not care for your nails now, it may lead to severe orange coats on the nails and the nail will become weak and chip easily. As a quick fix solution to yellow nails, you can use the nailpaint used for French manicure, It will make your nails appear naturally pinkish. Do not use the French tip.

But remember, this is just a temporary solution, a permanent solution would be to take care of your nails by keeping them free of nail polish for at least one week each month. Also rub some cod liver oil on your nails to improve its health.
