Answer #1

after your nails get back to their usual color, consider using a base coat (clear nail polish) before a colored nail polish. this will help against the yellowing. also try to get nail polishes containing little or no formaldehyde.

hope this helps :)

Answer #2

The yellow is caused by the chemicals to give the color to the nail polish. Let your nail take a rest for a month or so, and they SHOULD go back to normal. Then, if you want to, paint your nails again, but not as much! Good luck.

Answer #3

I have the same prob im always painting my nails or I always have fake nails on needless to say my nails are in bad shape , but as for the yellow polish cuts of oxygen to nails turns them yellow but you can buy nail whitener at like walmart its like fingernail polish but it will whiten your nails

Answer #4

if you leave polish on for a long time, it can cause your nails to “yellow”…but it usually goes away in a week after letting your nails go “natural” and washing. you may have some sort of nail fungus. wouldn’t hurt to get it checked out…or even just stop by a nail salon and ask them if theyve seen anything like it.

Answer #5

it is because they did not get enough oxygen
