Yellow nails are sometimes due to stains such as by saffron or turmeric. If not by food, the nails may be yellow due to fungus or underlying health issues. Such possible health issues include psoriasis or Type II Diabetes.

Why is nail polish bad for your fingers?

It's not bad for your fingers, but if you leave it on for long enough, it suffocates your nails because your nails can breath (believe it or not) so when you take off your polish and your nails are yellow, take a break from nail polish. In the mean time you can use fake nails to hide the yellow.

How do you get out yellow stains out o f your nails from nailpolish?

You can file on top of your nails but that wont completely do the trick. You should get a whitening toothpaste and a toothbrush and scrub the nails and then soak the nails in lemon juice and scrub them. This should do it but if not you can use bleach on a q-tip to scrub the yellow out. Be careful with bleach though and wash your hands a lot after! (:


Why is my nail polish turning my nails yelow?

It shouldn't, nor should nail polish remover. Typical things that turn nails yellow are exposure to tobacco and smoking, exposure to the spice, turmeric and fungal infections. If your toenails are yellow too, think more in terms of a possible infection. - Use a base coat or top coat before you apply the color polish to your nails and then when you remove it your nails shouldn't be yellow!

Is nail polish good for your fingertoe nails?

I dont know wat FINGERTOE nails are but: Finger nails: its fine to wear nail polish on your finger nails. Dont keep it on for a long period of time because your nails will yellow ( which is NOT a pretty sight ) Try using nail hardeners by Sally Hansen. They worked for me and my nails are now LONG!!! Toe Nails: Toe are fine to paint. There actually easier to paint then finger nails. Once again you can use nail hardeners and that will make them stronger but remember to take it off in a couple of weeks so your toe nails wont turn YELLOW!
