Cleaning and Whitening Finger Nails

RE: Cleaning and Whitening Finger Nails Post by ldyharley (178) | (03/12/2006) Blog! | Contact diluted bleach works pretty well for me. I am a scenic artist at Seaworld and use a lot of earth tone colors. I'm not one for wearing gloves when I am sponging on these colors so my nails usually end up looking pretty nasty. I scrub them with soap and water and when I get home I put a little bleach and water in the sink and soak my fingers for a few seconds. It works.

RE: Cleaning and Whitening Finger Nails Post By Carol Tewksbury (Guest Post) (03/11/2006) Lemon juice works the same way. It can also be combed thru your hair just before you sit in the sun to help lighten it.

Just soak your nails in lemon juice - Real Lemon is fine. This is sasfe, the smell isn't overpowering and it works like a charm RE: Cleaning and Whitening Finger Nails Post by camo_angels (700) | (03/10/2006) Profile | Contact A little safer is Hydrogen peroxide and a cotton swab. I discovered this while whitening my teeth and it dribbled ;) You can use a whitening pencil sold in the manicure/pedicure section of all drug stores. It is not as pretty, but works in a tight pinch!
