How to clean stained nails


If you love dark nail polishes as much as I do, you know that not putting a clear coat before the dark polish will lead to stained nails, and stained nail are not pretty to look at. I do a simple three step cleaning process that leaves my nails looking pretty again. lol



  • lukewarm water
  • vinegar
  • half a lime
  • nail brush
  • lotion




  • In a small container, I use a ramekin, fill it a little above half ways with lukewarm water Add a splash or two of vinegar and a bit of lime juice.
  • Soak your nails in the solution for about 5-15 minutes depending on how stained your nails are.
  • With the solution still on your nails, rub the lime half of them.

  • Being gently but still a bit rough, brush your nails with the nail brush. Do this until the stains have come off.

  • Once you are done, wash your hands with soap an massage lotion on your cuticles, and your'e done!


If you want to avoid getting stained nails; ALWAYS use clear nail polish as a base.

If you have other ways of avoiding this, or different ways to clean stained nails, i'd love to hear about it!
