Last week I painted my nails a lovely vivid green, but I stupidly forgot to put a base coat on so now 3/4's of each nail is stained a very noticible yellow. I have a wedding to go to in a few weeks so I was hoping someone might have a tip on how to get rid of it.

Don't have any nail polish on your nails for awhile. I'm sure it will be gone before the wedding

I use baking soda and a tooth brush. and my manicurist told me that using a mild bleach on a cotton pad helps too.  :)
