When I started using nail polish, I noticed after removing it that my toe nails became yellowish and brittle. What is the reason for this? Do you have any advice on how to strengthen my nails again? Does it mean that I should not wear nail polish for an extended period of time?

Its the dye in the fingernail polish that makes you nails look yellow. Just use a nail hardner and use clear fingernail polish for awhile and the yellow will go away. Get you a french manicure or an american manicure.

the nail vanish colour has stained your nail but dont worry you can still wear the nail vanish for as long as yuu want but before you put the colour on to your nails put a base coat of a clear nail vanish this will not only stop the nail from getting stained but also make your nails look better but make them stronger and make them look more profeshionalI hope this help

The main reason why nailz become yellowish is due to the colour of the nail varnish which ent removed completely..even after using a nail polish remover...Use a base coat before applying nail varnish..this will make sure your nailz wont appear yellow after removing the nail varnish...And yh do not keep on nail varnish for a long time..coz as i mentioned above..the colour gets absorbed...Drink lots of waterEat fruitzHealthy diet...its same as takin care of your skin and thatYu can find sum kinda creams n stuff to buyJst hope that helpz lolxXxX

they change color because of the chemical compounds of the nail polish...it's like poisoning your nails...try not to use nail polish to often
