They look kinda yellow-ish from using a lot of dark polish. How can I restore them without harming my natural nails?

Darker colored polish can cause a chemical reaction between the nail polish's coloring agent and the nail plate, which can cause nails to take on a yellow-ish color. While it is different for every person, this reaction can occur in a matter of days or within weeks of wearing the nail color. To prevent nails from yellowing, always use a base coat before polishing. For already yellow nails, soak nails in 1/2 cup of water and juice of one lemon for up to 15 minutes, once a week. As an alternate option, you can try using Sally Hansen's® Natural Shine® Chamois Nail Buffer to smooth away some of the discoloration. If all else fails, try letting your discolored nails completely grow out. That could take anywhere from four to six months.

It's so easy. All you have to do is buy Crest White Strips and put them on your nails for about an hour. It lightens them up soooo fast.

Buy almond oil, and buy a filer... put almond oil on your nails witha cotton ball, and then, file then a little bit, the top part I mean... that would get rid of the yellowish nails...

You need to use a nail buffer and also, you can wash your nails with a few drops of lemon juice.

Cut a lemon in half and scrub your nails with it, great for toes too.

this sounds weird, but soak them in a denture cleaner. buy a box of polident smokers tablets, dissolve them in warm water and soak for about 15 mins. It really works!

clean out from under them, shape them and possibly trim them??? mine get kinda yellowish too, so i use lighter clors and trim them, then use darker clors and start all over again.
