Beauty & Style TipAlthough you may love the drama of a manicure done in a deep or vivid hue, dark polishes can leave stains behind. To remove unsightly stains on your nails, soak in a solution of one cup of warm water mixed with the juice of a lemon (more stubborn stains may need scrubbing with a sponge or old toothbrush). To prevent stains in the future, be sure to use a basecoat before applying color to your nails (bonus: your polish will last longer too!).

This is a great tip. I asked a manacurist at a shop in the mall and was told to soak my nails in nail polish remover. All that did was dry out my skin, and I still had stains, but this worked and did not harm my skin at all.

Honey you can buy lemon "juice" it is in that container shaped like a lemon. Much easier and pain free!

soak your nails in bleach and it will remove stains but you have to do it more then once.

i think it is a good idea. i haven't been using this site for that long but i like it. most sites you have to pay and with this one you don't have to but you don't get to do as much which is a little disappointing but, overall, i think it is a good one

Well, that sounds like alot of bother to me. I use an at home spa treatment called instant manicure. It's as easy and fast as washing your hands! It makes your hands look beautiful. I also use it on my feet for an instant pedicure! If any of you are interest in something that really works, let me know I'll send u a free sample!

I would love to try your method for manicure. My hands are my worst feature and make my whole self look dirty. I would appreciate any feedback. Thanx

i'm not sure how safe bleaching your nails are.

base coat polish sounds good..might work as well

applying a base coat really does make it last a lot longer--no wonder i didnt have stains when i took it off!!
