Bright orange nail staining from red nail polish

Is there anything at all I can do to remove it or do I have to wait until it grows out?!

It’s been there a few days now and shows no sign of fading away

Did you use a base coat?

Maybe if you put a different colour on, when you remove it, the stain will come off too.

I tried this but it didn’t work ☹️

No to the base coat question - who has the time! 😁 And I’ve never had this problem before with a red.

For this very reason I always have time to use a base coat 😃

Paint them again. It'll grow out eventually!

What brand was it and what have you tried so far?

It’s much quicker to apply a base coat than to faff around trying to remove staining.

Another vote for base coat here.

Otherwise, you end up with colour stained nails 😁

You should be able to buff it off. Get one of those 4 sided nail file cubes.

As I say, this is the first time I've ever got red staining in my life!

Can't believe there isn't a product on the market to get rid of it haha.
