Nail Polish question?

to_sassy4_

1. Why do dark colors leave your nails with a yellowish color?
2. How can you get rid of this yellowish color?

My nails are natural and although I love dark reds, purples and browns, I also like the french look. But I hate that my nails have this funky color to them. HELP

Answer
I might be a male but being a automotive paint expert I know a thing or two about fingernail polish as they are both chemically the same except that polish has glycerin added to it for shelf life.

To prevent the discolor of the nail, first apply a coat of clearcoat as a base. Then apply color and then another coat of clear. The first coat of clear will seal your nail and prevent the color from embedding itself into the pores of the nail.

To get rid of the yellow you can try to soak the nails in acetone, fingernail polish remover. This will help lighten it some but most likely you will have to let the yellow grow out. Won't take that long.

I had been trying to make a 60 second drying fingernail polish back around 1997 but Revlon beat me to the punch.

how to organize my nail polish?

Q. please help me! i have 24 nail art pens, 24 nail polishes and some other things like a nail file, cuticle stick, hand cream and french manicure nail tips i need somewhere to store. at the moment i have them all stood up on a shelf in my bookcase in rows but it is really hard to access because when i try and reach something at the back, i end up knocking loads of them over! the shelf is too small to fit on a shoe box and all my drawers are taken, and i have no makeup bags that are big enough.

what is a good way to organise them (i would preferably put them in colour order or put my favourites at the front and the ones i dont use at the back).

thanks <3
haha i know and i'm only 13 :)
WHAT I MEANT WAS HOW SHALL I STORE THEM AS I DON'T WANT THEM ON A SHELF ANYMORE

Answer
I have mine in clear boxes. On box if full of nail files, top coat, base coat, cream, stuff like that. The other is the actual polish's. I divide them by brand and then by color. So I have all my Chanel's and they're lined up from lightest to darkest, then essie's, again lightest to darkest and so on.

Is there any way to get a large nail polish stain out of carpeting?

~RedBird~

My daughter had an accident in her bedroom with her nail polish. A shelf broke in her room, and several bottles of nail polish fell. One of the bottles hit against another and broke open, leaving a 2 inch diameter stain on the beige wall-to-wall carpeting. It's a very dark color polish, and it's already hardened of course. I didn't touch it at the time, out of fear I would just smear the stain. Is there any way to remove the stain without spreading it and making it look worse?

Answer
Your best best is a "Carpet Transplant":

1. Cut the stain out using a razor knife. Be careful to cut only the carpet, not the padding under it.

2. Cut a piece of replacement carpet from a place no one will ever notice, like from inside a closet.

3. Put the ruined piece on a piece of paper and trace around it. This will be your template. Cut this out and use it as a pattern for the new piece. You want an exact match in shape.

4. Glue the replacement piece of carpet in place using waterproof glue. Attach it to the padding underneath. Or you can sew it into place by sewing it to the existing carpet. (You will need a curved needle if you sew it in place.)


The repair should be invisible when you're done.

What is a creative, affordable, and semi-portable way to store nail polish?

Emily

I am an aspiring nail tech and I have over 150 bottles of nail polish. My last system of storage (color coded ziploc bags in a tote) failed when my sister was too rough throwing a bag into the container, shattering a bottle everywhere. I've seen the nice shelves that people have, but I don't have the wall space and I often take my stuff with me to do manicures for people at their homes. Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!!!

Answer
Caddies are nice. I use caddies. Rubbermaid containers. :) You can find great things at Target.
