Does nail polish and nail polish remover dry your nails out?

Think ive damaged mine through wearing too much polish/leaving polish on for too long.





Nail is yellow. If i use nail polish remover on it to try and 'whiten' it will it make it worse? What can i use to help my nails recover?Does nail polish and nail polish remover dry your nails out?
Yes. Both dry out natural nails.





The yellow is just a stain from wearing a dark colored polish. It's not actual damage and it's not a big deal. It just looks odd.





Nail polish remover will not remove the yellow %26amp; a buffer is good but it's a challenge to get good results all along where the skin meets the nail.





Ajax or comet powder massaged gently into the nails will whiten them again. Depending upon how badly they are stained, lemon juice might suit just as well and is a little bit more gentle.





Next time, apply a thin coat (any brand) of 'baset' type polish to stear clear of stains, and a top coat of clear gloss polish will make them shine like diamonds and make it last longer before it all starts to chip at the edges.Does nail polish and nail polish remover dry your nails out?
You can get a buffer and try to buff out some of the yellow. Nail polish remover won't do anything. Leave the nail polish alone. It's not good when your nails turn yellow like that from constantly wearing nail polish.
Yes it will make it worse. Because not only will it stay yellow, by using nail remover it will look unhealthy too.


Try buying a nail moisturizer in your nearby pharmacy. By buying nail products it would really keep your nails healthy and nice. Hope this helps
