How to Remove Stains From Polished Nails

Polished nails are a beauty and fashion statement. Well-groomed hands are a sign of good personal hygiene. Nails can become stained from nail polish. This is especially true when using darker polish colors. They can leave a yellow stain. This stain is not harmful to your nails and will wear off over time. It can be hidden by applying new nail polish over the stain. You can also use home treatments to remove the stain left behind from nail polish.
