Brew Beauty: Fixing Discolored Nails

It’s not cute to have your hands on straight up Gollum status.  If your nails look like you’ve been soaking them in a vat of curry couscous, then we have a problem a few paces shy of this monstrosity right here.

Like any artist, you need a good canvas before you paint.  The same holds true for nail polish.  It may seem simple to slap on a coat of varnish and keep it moving, but there are some steps that you should handle first.

In order to rock all of Fall’s new nail trends, you must start with a healthy natural nail.  Don’t cheat!

1. Buff and shine those puppies like a new car.
2. Slather on a little cuticle oil too, while you’re at it.
3. Then, head to the kitchen and rub a lemon slice on your nails for a few minutes to remove any yellowing.  Trust me, it works.
4. Lastly, paint them with a basecoat and follow with your nail color and top coat.
5. You’ll need to repeat these steps until the yellow, discolored nails grow out, which should be pretty quickly if you’re eating a healthy diet.

Happy polishing!
