I like wearing black nail polish but it always stains my fingernails. I remove it with polish remover and it always stains and leaves marks. How do I prevent this from happening? Thanks for your help!

You need to apply one coat of BASE COAT before you apply the color polish.
This is how a professional does:
-one coat of base polish
-two coats of color polish
-one coat of top coat.

I suggest using a different brand of nail polish. Some brands can do that and some won't. Try to stay away from the really cheap brands. They usually don't stain, but the polish tends to chip off really fast. Before you even paint your nails, clean them and get rid of all the oils and cuticles. Make sure they are dry and always apply in thins layers, allowing each to dry. Also you can try using a base coat and a top coat. Here are some nail polish brands that have worked for me in the past: Opi, Essie, Urban, and Sally Girl (found at many Sally's Beauty Supply stores).

Use a clear basecoat (or two) of a GOOD polish- it's a barrier to keep the dyes from nail polish seeping into your nail. There are also products available (try Sally's) to whiten nailbeds stained by polish. Give your nails rest from color once in a while, too. And I know you didn't ask, but black nails say your stuck on yesterday like someone who still wears big shoulderpads! Try a black cherry or a metallic for a new look.

Use a good base polish first. Be sure when removing the polish you use a cotton ball and stroke from the cuticle to the tip of the nail. Dont over use the cotton ball, it can get messy.
By the way, black nail polish? that is not a flattering color for anyone. If you want to go Goth, try a pearl silver...still not great but better.

Use a nail primer like Sally Hansen (amazing!) and a clear coat of polish before you add the black. That not only gives you a guaranteed smooth nail but also keeps the black tint from reaching your nails.

Try putting a clear coat on first, then the black nail polish.

If a clear polish as a base isn't helping, maybe a opal or cotton candy color,one coat is fine but 2 is better,let if fully dry, then paint over it with black letting it dry between these 2 coats also, you shouldnt be able to see the base coat. I use this all this time. Hope it helps.

when removing your nail polish, put your finger in a little pool of the remover for about 30 seconds. then the remover starts breaking down the marks and stains. then you can use a qtip or what ever and wipe it clean! good luck. i stick with the black too. haha

Perhaps you could try applying a coat of clear polish before applying the black polish. This would keep the color from resting directly on your nails.

Use a coat of clear nail polish first, then put on the black. Trust me, it works, and the black nails look awesome when i'm playing guitar up on stage!

Its as a lot as you purchase some low-priced black nail polish placed it on and placed on it with an outfit you want. in case you imagine evidently solid then tell something of the international to take care of it and placed on it. I really have considered countless black females in my workplace placed on black nail polish. Its as a lot as you.
