Nails in bright, beguiling jeweled tones of burgundy, blood, and licorice are oh-so-appealing, but maddening to remove from the nail once you decide you’re suddenly having a pale pink moment. (I am usually left with red-tinged hands that make me look like I’d spend the afternoon murdering somebody.) I’ve used lemon juice in the past to get rid of the nasty tinge, but Glamour has another answer: use whitening toothpaste. “‘Just buff them, brush it on and rinse to lighten,’ says celebrity manicurist Jin Soon Choi.” And, of course, help prevent stains from starting by always using a base coat under polish.
