The issue we girls who love our well-manicured hands face is the issue of ‘yellow nails’. And it’s not always nail-polish but nail-paint remover too that causes the discolouration of our nails. Lifestyle habits, chronic liver diseases and fungal infections too cause us to get ‘ugly yellow nails’. Want to get rid of them? Our DIY hacks will help you achieve just that!

If you have realised that your nails are starting to get yellow then try this as the first step to improving the colour of your nails. Make sure not to scrub too hard or too much as you want your nails to stay strong. Now, this will help your nails but slowly and the change won’t be too drastic.

Lemon juice or lemon is a great option when you want to rid your nails of yellowing. Slice the lemon in half and rub it on your nails. Leave it be for about 10-30 minutes, not more, and then wash it off.

To start, create a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and water. Then, dip the toothbrush in the mixture and rub that on your nails. Keep it on for about 10 minutes and you will see the discolouration vanish.

Baking soda has bleaching as well as exploiting properties which will help remove the stain from your nails. Just mix two and a half tablespoons of baking soda with one tablespoon of hydrogen peroxide in a bowl. Then apply this mixture on your stained nails with cotton swabs. After that, leave it on for three to four minutes. Finally, rinse your nails with warm water. You could repeat this process for four to six weeks.

If you think your discolouration is not due to nail-polish then it could also be due to a fungal infection. To try to solve the problem with a home remedy, you can put a drop of tea tree oil onto your nail beds, leave it to settle for a couple of minutes, and then rinse with warm water. To see the best results, you can do this twice daily for a few months until you notice the improvement.
