Why is my nail staining and how do I prevent it?Updated 8 days ago

Some folks experience nail staining with darker or redder shades. The surface of your nail plate can absorb pigment resulting in a slight tint to your natural nail.

To avoid nail staining, you can apply a sheer coat of polish as the first layer before polish. Ridge Filler or Nail Brightener can also prevent staining.

Nail staining isn't harmful, but if it bothers you, you can apply some Nail Brightener to mask the appearance of stains.
