Awhile ago, a reader asked how to prevent nail stains from dark polish.  I read a tip from Instyle Magazine about some homemade remedies you may want to try:

- Soak nails in 1/2 cup of lemon juice (this gently lightens nails)

- Soak nails in 1/2 cup of olive oil (helps moisturize)

- Dab whitening toothpaste on your nails, rinse off, then buff to remove the top layer of stains. Whitening toothpaste does the same thing as whitening your teeth, which should be gentle (obviously your TEETH are much more sensitive!)

- Add a base coat of clear polish before you apply the dark polish so it won’t have direct contact.

Enjoy your dark nails ladies!
