Unnaturally yellow nails (that you didn't paint that color)
Unnaturally yellow nails (that you didn't paint that color) We're quick to sun-proof our skin and even our hair, but our manis and pedis often go unprotected. If you're working on a tan, your nails are soaking up those rays as well. According to Dr. Chynna Steele, an Atlanta-based dermatologist, heat from the sun can bake polish into your nails, leaving that sickly, yellow tint. The good news is, you don't have scurvy (as your internet search might have suggested). However, you are going to need to re-think your polish routine if you want to get rid of that cadaver-like hue.

Before putting on polish, prep nails with two layers of a base coat. Stick with lighter polish colors like nudes, beiges and ballet pinks. If you can't quite kick your Lincoln Park After Dark habit, squeeze fresh lemon onto your bare nails and let it sit for several minutes. The citrus will naturally bleach and brigthen stained nails. Buff with a dry washcloth, then massage a few drops of olive oil into your nails and cuticles to restore moisture.
