change nail polish - either to one without formaldehyde or go with a lighter color!My fingers and toe nails have been turning yellowish brown when i went to get a pedicure the lady said?
That's happened to me before. I've had my toenails turn almost brown because I always use polish. Let them 'breathe'. Stop wearing polish, even a clear coat, for a few weeks. If you don't see an improvement, maybe you could find something over-the-counter to use. Good Luck!
Happens to me all the time. It's due to the lack of oxygen the nails are getting from being covered with polish for a long time. Best thing to do is don't put polish on them for awhile. Let them grow out and the yellow should go away withing a week or two. Keep them moisturized with a hand and nail cream or baby oil.





To prevent this from happening again make sure that you don't keep on one nail polish for over a week. Then let your nails rest with no nail polish on at least one day between repainting.
i've heard eating fiber helps your nails
stop wearing polish, put pure tea tree oil (antifungal)on them, and make sure your nails are dry when you get out of the shower.


In about a month or so, they will clear up when new nail grows in.
if you can afford it,get stuff to soak them in=then just use a nail hardener for awhile until the yellow coloring leaves =good luck
