I generally don't paint my finger nails because the polish chips off way too quickly. As a result, I like to make sure that my nails are well groomed. I recently found these tips for how to whiten yellow nails from Maire Claire
"Several tricks can be used to make your tips look whiter. Nail expert Fran Manos (author of Beautiful Hands and Nails Naturally) recommends bleaching them in a solution of 1 tablespoon of 3% hydrogen peroxide mixed with 2 1/2 tablespoons of baking soda in a small plastic bowl. Use a cotton swab to press some of the mixture (it should achieve a paste-like consistency) firmly under the tip of each nail as well as over the top of the nail, covering all the nails on one hand. Allow the mixture to remain in place for about three minutes before rinsing with warm water. Repeat with other hand. Try this treatment every six to eight weeks. Or, soak your tips in a commercial denture cleaner for about five minutes. For a super-speedy fix, use a nail-whitening pencil (available at drugstores) under your tips for a brighter look."
I am personally gonna try the denture cream. I read this a few other places so I think that has the best odds of success. I'll let you know how it works out.
Also, if anyone knows how to keep polish on your nails from chipping, I'd love to know!
