No Time For A Manicure? A Simple Hack To Whiten Your Nails At Home
Written by Urvi DalalNov 03, 2019
Who does not like the idea of a glossy manicure that just never fades? Me for sure! While this situation is extremely idealistic, we are sad to say that it is not exactly practical. Perpetually painted nails tend to damage them and leave them feeling brittle and yellow. Now, this isn’t exactly a pretty sight.
Why exactly do our nails turn yellow? If you have the habit of constantly applying red or other dark, pigmented shades, then they tend to leave your nails tinted. And the worst part is that if you don’t remove this nail paint in a few days, the staining will only keep getting worse.
This brings us to our next question, how do you avoid this situation? One of the best ways to prevent your nails from chipping is to apply nudes or pastel shades. But having said that, it does not really hurt to have a hack or two up our sleeves to really whiten yellowed nails, because you never know when a girl may need to put her best foot forward.
If you think this is slightly impossible to achieve, then we are here to break your inhibitions. You can let all these worries fade away, because we have a brilliant solution up our sleeve that you are going to love! This at-home remedy for stained nails will give you shiny, white, spotless nails regardless of your choice of polish preference. Curious much? Read on to find out.
The nail-whitening hack
If you don’t have time for a manicure, there’s a way to achieve clean and bright nails using a dab of whitening toothpaste. Yes, you read that right. Using a whitening toothpaste, especially those that contain baking soda, on your nails will make them look salon-fresh in a matter of minutes.
After removing your polish, layer the toothpaste on your nails and let it sit for ten to fifteen minutes. Once time is up, grab a nail brush or toothbrush to gently scrub the nails under warm water. Your nails will be visibly brighter and whiter. If you are dealing with a severe case of staining, you can repeat the process over the course of a few days.
After this super simple trick, you won’t have to worry about stained nails ever again. You’ll be able to step out polish-free until your next manicure appointment.
