It’s not difficult at all!
Flaunting beautifully painted nails in all kinds of fun colours is always nice. Marshmallow pink, Easter bunny purple and canary yellow; nothing’s too crazy for us. Although you can really spruce up your nails with a pretty colour, your nails might not always thank you later. The dark colours can cause your nails to become discoloured, and that looks a lot less pretty.
This trick we’ve got for you today might help you get rid of the ugly colour on your nails.
Base coat
First things first: never forget to apply a base coat to your nails before you go in with the polish. The base coat will protect your nails, which ensures the polish doesn’t soak into the nail – which means no discolouring. Did you end up with discoloured nails despite trying to avoid it? In that case, you can let the colour ‘grow out’, but this will take some time. Do you not have this kind of time and do you want to get rid of the colour anyway? Then the trick we’ve got for you today might be the solution you’re looking for. The secret to fixing discoloured nails is a denture cleaning tablet.
What do you need?
- Denture cleaning tablet
- Plastic container or bowl
- Soft toothbrush
- A few drops of (lavender) essential oil
- Washcloth
- Nail polish remover
This is what you have to do
- Remove any nail polish that might still be on your nails and wash your hands.
- Fill the small plastic container with some warm water and put the denture cleaning tablet in there. The tablet will start to fizz a lot, which is why you should add a few drops of lavender oil. The cleaning smell of the tablet will become a lot less intense like this.
- Then, put your hands in the container for twenty minutes and use the soft toothbrush to carefully scrub at the discoloured parts of your nails.
- The next step is to rub your nails and hands with the washcloth using circular motions. This hand and nail massage stimulates your blood flow and will make sure your nails will become nice and pink again.
