3. Buff away.
Try to carefully buff off the discolored layer of your nails. Be sure not to buff off to much, as it will compromise the strength of your nails, making them thin and weak.
4. Try hydrogen peroxide.
Take a toothbrush and vigorously brush an equal parts mixture of hydrogen peroxide and water on your nail beds. You can also try soaking your nails in the solution for about 10 minutes.
5. Prevent fungus with tea tree oil.
Nail polish isn’t always the culprit for the discoloration. In some cases there is a deeper issue. Nail fungus can cause your nails to change colors as well. If you think this might be the case, a good remedy is tea tree oil. Use a drop on each nail twice daily for a few weeks, and you should start to see a significant difference. If the yellowing persists, it’s a good idea to see your doctor.
