I get my nails done at a salon. I had tips, but they've grown out and I still get them filled in every two weeks, so it's just the acryllic over my natural nails. I get French tips airbrushed on instead of another nail polish color.
I go tanning and ever since I started using this new tanning lotion that has hemp in it. After a couple times using it, my nails started turning yellow! I think it's the lotion messing with the nail polish and turning it yellow, because once I take off the polish, it's not yellow anymore. Do you think it's the hemp or something else? Because my last lotion never did that.
Whether it's the hemp or not, I can't stop using that lotion until it runs out because they're so expensive, so how can I avoid my nails turning yellow? Is there a way I can apply the lotion without it getting on my nails? Because I still need it on my hands because it has a little bit of bronzer in it, so I don't want to get uneven.
xxblue0eyesxx answered Friday July 13 2007, 2:53 am: Its not the lotion. When you use tanning beds or booths, the light turns acrylic nails yellow. Some places have things called "nail savers" and ive never personally used them, but I think all you do is put them over your nails like stickers and peel them off when you finish tanning. You could try looking into that and seeing if your tanning salon offers those, and if not, maybe try a local drug store. Hope this helps =) [ xxblue0eyesxx's advice column | Ask xxblue0eyesxx A Question ]

If you think its also the lotion, just put the lotion on you & then when your done wipe it off your nails. [ whoaxbabe's advice column | Ask whoaxbabe A Question ]

DancinCutie08 answered Thursday July 12 2007, 4:49 pm: its the combination of the lotion and tanning.. most people have this problem with just tanning in general then some lotions make it just that much noticeable. what I would do is bring wipes with you so you can wash your nails off after you apply lotion and before you tan or go over your nails lightly with nail polish remover to take off the yellow but be careful that you don't take off the airbrushing [ DancinCutie08's advice column | Ask DancinCutie08 A Question ]
orphans answered Thursday July 12 2007, 4:30 pm: I'm not sure what it is. It might be the hemp but it might also be the bronzer. What brand tanning lotion do you use? When you put it on you body, keep the lotion in you palm. try not to let it get on to your fingers. After you're done with your body, slowly apply it to the tops of your hands and fingers. That's the only thing I can think of...to be care when applying it. What kind of bronzer is it? If it's just a triple, it most likely wont make that much of a difference if you don't put it on your fingers. [ orphans's advice column | Ask orphans A Question ]
