9 Hacks To Make Nail Extensions Last Longer
Lemon juice: Soak a cotton pad in lemon juice and apply to your nails for 10–15 minutes. You can also rub a cut lemon on your nails. Lemon juice is a natural bleaching agent.
Nail polish remover: Moisten a cotton ball with either nail polish remover and gently dab the affected area.
Sanitiser: The alcohol present in sanitizer can help get rid of the yellow stains.
Toothpaste: Use a peroxide-containing toothpaste and gently brush away yellow stains with a toothbrush.
Hydrogen peroxide: Soak nails in a solution of 4 parts water, 1 part hydrogen peroxide for 10 minutes.
Denture tablets: Dissolve the tablet in water and soak your nails for several minutes.
Top coat it more: Once you are out of the salon after your manicure, buy a regular top coat from any brand and coat your nails with 2 coats of the same. This usually prevents your nails from going yellow, but if they do turn a bit discoloured, you can just take the top coat off and apply a fresh coat leaving your gel nails intact.
