Lemon Juice for your Nails

No matter how much you use a base coat, if you have a taste for dark nail polish, you're likely to end up with stains. Whether the nails have a stained lacquer-color, or they have that bad-looking yellow tinge, have no fear! Just read below, and you won't have to feel insecure about putting on dark nail polish.

What you need: One lemon and a bowl filled with warm water

What you do: Squeeze some lemon juice into the bowl of water and give it a swirl. Next, soak your hands one at a time. (About five minutes a pop should do the trick.)

If you’re short on time, there’s another way: Take the rind of the lemon and rub it right onto your nails to expedite the process. (Careful around any cuticle cuts.)

How it works: The acidity won’t straight-up remove nail polish, but it does cut through superficial stains and returns nails to their natural, bright color.
