Here are a few quick tricks to make your nails (toenails and fingernails) look whiter... and healthier!
How To Make Your Nails Look Whiter:
1. Use an old toothbrush to clean your nails with some whitening toothpaste. Rinse and repeat.
2. Soak a cotton ball with 3% hydrogen peroxide. Rub it onto your nails, then let dry.
3. Dissolve a tablet or two of denture cleaner into a small bowl of water. Then, soak your nails for about five minutes.
4. Mix 1 tablespoon of 3% hydrogen peroxide and 2-1/2 tablespoons of baking soda in a small bowl. (This will be paste-like in consistency.) Then use a cotton swab to press some of the mixture firmly under the tip of each nail and across the tops of each nail. Keep this mixture on your nails for 3 minutes, then rinse.
5. Lemon acts as an astringent and will strip away stains from your nails. Simply rub a slice of lemon directly underneath and on top of your nails. Or, soak your nails in water combined with lemon juice or lemon slices.
6. Use a white pencil underneath the nail tip.
How To Prevent Yellowing In The First Place
If you wear polish on your nails much of the time, to prevent the color from staining the top layers of the nail, be sure to use a good base coat first -- underneath the colored polish.BONUS: With a nail base, the color will be longer-lasting and more resistant to chipping!
