Lately
we find ourselves changing polish colors as often as we rotate our favorite
purses and totes. Nail-art and the variety of nail colors and finishes
available now have really made it easy to add an inexpensive, quick, and
totally stress-free treat to our beauty routines.
Pretty
nails make us smile, and we’ve even been known to match our tint to our Toesox.

Though
there is a downside to manicure after pedicure after manicure. . . .
Ever
noticed a yellow-y stain on the base of your nails after removing color? Leaving
polish on your nails for a long period of time can leave your nail beds gasping
for air. But how can you leave nails naked if they’re stained sans color? Don’t
worry. We’ve got a secret to keep your piggy toes and fingers looking as
beautiful au natural as they are with hot pink and sparkly lacquer.
Secret
for stain-free nails?
Start
with a base coat. Always! This will protect your nails before adding dark
colors, and will help keep polish on longer.
If
stains remain, even with a base coat, try mixing up this home remedy to banish
them for good.
Mix:
1
Tablespoon Baking Soda
1
Teaspoon Olive Oil
A
Squeeze of Lemon Juice
Rub
mixture onto nails.
Let sit
for 5-7 minutes
and you’re back to your naturally nude nails.
Sometimes
it’s nice to skip a few days in between color, especially if you can avoid the stains.
And after you clean them up, well, you’ll be ready to pick a new color for your
next mani/pedi.
