The one time I forget to put a base I stain my nails >.< I was in the biggest rush and I did my nails in the car and now they are stained, if they were yellow I wouldn't be so freaked but they are green!! It's so annoying I keep trying nail polish remover do you ladies have any tips to get it off?

Brush your nails with baking soda? or put mild bleach on a cotton ball then rub it on your nails.

I had the same problem a while ago and someone said try pure acetone.

Mix baking soda and rubbing alcohol together, then scrub with an old toothbrush. If you don't have the rubbing alcohol then you can substitute it with water. And if you don't have baking soda, you can just use the rubbing alcohol. Both combined not only take the stains out, but also whiten you nails :)

Soak your nails in lemon juice then rub with a cotton ball you will probably have too be aggressive though.

Hi I'm a cosmetologist! don't use bleach, hydrogen peroxide and baking soda are the gentlest was to get it off. if not try using a red polish with no base coat to cancel out some of the red and get it to a more neutral tone.
