There is nothing worse than taking off your nail polish to find faded, ancient looking, yellow nails underneath.Unless you were born blessed with white nails, you are part of the majority of women who have this problem.
What it means is that we end up spending absurd amounts of money on nail care and varnishes just to hide our unsightly nails. This means a lot of upkeep that most people just don’t have the time for.
But what if you had neat, white nails like those hand models you see on billboards and TV? Then you wouldn’t have to worry about hiding them or covering them up. This home recipe is what I use to help whiten my nails while still keeping them strong and healthy.
Recipe
Ingredients
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
3 tbsp baking soda
Cotton wool
Foil
Method
1. Make 5cm long strips with your cotton wool. Tear you foil into 5cm squares.
2. Mix the lemon juice and baking soda in a bowl.
3. Dip the cotton wool strips into the paste until they feel wet. Wrap your nails with the strips, making sure that you get to the back of the nail as well.
4. Cover the nail with foil to keep the cotton strips in place.
5. Remove after 10-15minutes and wash nails with soap and water.
6. Moisturise with your favourite hand and nail cream.
