You sure loved those bright red nails but has your nail paint left a stain on your nail bed? Sometimes no amount of rubbing with cotton pads and scrubbing with acetone will wipe off those tough stains. However, you can try these tips recommended by cosmetologist Nandita Das to remove the faint colour from your nails.
Apply a drop of cuticle oil on the nail bed and slightly buff off the first layer of stain from the nail bed. This will help break the seal of the polish so that the remover can penetrate deeper into your nails and remove a good amount of stain.
If you still got the stains, you can use an oil-enriched acetone to reduce the discolouration of the nails. Dip some cotton in acetone and wrap your fingers with the cotton saturated with acetone. Leave it for 10 minutes and then remove the cotton pads.
And finally, you can use an old toothbrush to scrub your nails with a mixture of baking soda and water. The alkaline solution with baking soda and water will help lift the stains from your digits. Baking powder also has bleaching and exfoliating properties that help remove the stains.
Lemon is a natural bleaching agent that can remove the nail polish stains from your nails. Just soak your hands in a bowl of fresh lemon juice for 10 to 15 minutes. Then rinse your hands with lukewarm water and apply a moisturising lotion. Do this twice a day and you will notice a difference in the colour of your nails.
