I have stained my toenails blue ! Help !

[AnyFucker]

Yes, yes, I should have used a base coat. No, I was lazy and I didn't.

I used a lovely teal nail varnish on my toes but on taking it off my toenails are stained a horrid bluey green. Any tips anyone (before the season for toe baring really gets underway...)

Excellent!

My nails sometimes stain from polish, but it goes away in a bath soak or two and a week free of polish. How long has it been?

I think neat bleach is not recommended (going off that link above) but I needed a quick result

namechanger, about a week

Bit of bleach and a green scrubby!

give them a night off the polish and rub in some vaseline. works wonders on my fingernails.

I have looked at said offenders this evening and they are looking much better

I shall base coat the fuckers tomorrow and never make this mistake again. I have learned my lesson

.....

ten tiny toes

Zing

they are much pinker/whiter now

unfortunately they are no longer attached to my feet

No longer attached to your feet how?

To stain one's toes is unfortunate
To lose them completely is sheer carelessness...

I have tael coloured toe nails. I didn't put a base coat on underneath. Am a little fearful...

Oh dear, Miranda

It was the neat bleach wot did it, coffeeinbed

Blimey.

I remember reading here that someone used bleach in her bathwater...I do worry about her toenails now.

Bleach didn't rid me of my blue hair, doubt it would work on yer nails AF.

Gelux nails?

Or would a gentle buffing take the top layer of nail?

It's ok folks, it's sorted now

Hi, recommend getting some denture dissolving fizzing tablets, put two or three in a bowel with warm water, soak feet hey presto! They are only 1 in our pound shop! also works for stained hands and left in loo overnight cleans all stains!
Hope this helps xx

I think I would rather have stained toenails than have to soak them in a bowel !

I see that it's sorted - good stuff - I use Veet cream when this happens, leave for a couple of minutes and then wash off. Works a treat and shinies up the cuticles too. Probably not to be recommended but works for me.

Veet ?

I know this site has it's fair share of the hairy handed/toed but sheesh

I discovered it by accident when I dropped a bit of Veet on my toes! Formerly Rouge Noir stained tootsies were no longer marked. Yep, it's weird isn't it...?

If it can do that to polish stains on toenails then what sort of steel wool am I sprouting on my legs
