yellow nails?

MerryA · 03-25-2007, 12:18 PM

Hi everyone!

Wondered if anyone has any suggestions. I tend to always use a nail hardener / strengthener as otherwise my nails are very weak.

Anyway, for some time now, my nails have had a yellow colour to them - more towards the top than the bottom. Could this be from the hardener I use as I've heard that nail polish can stain nails, could nail hardener do the same?

Or is there anything else it could be?

It could be anywhere from the polish discoloring your nails to a symptom of a disease or illness. If it's small and you have no others issues/symptoms of any illnesses then you can probably just buff it out and be fine.

I would google yellow nails or nail abnormalities and do an image search and see if your hands/nails have any similarities and then look at what the symptoms assocated to that picture are and go from there.

With the information you have provided my best advice would be if it bothers you to see a doc and have them look at it.

idk about fingernails, but every so often my left pinky toe turns yellow, and its because of fungus infection there.

First off welcome to IronMass Merry!

Great to have you here and nice to see the women's section active again. We have lot's of women on the site but none of them seem to use the section for them..lol. Anyway just looking at the 3 post's you've put up I'd say the most likely cause of all 3 issues is improper diet. I'd suggest posting up your typical daily diet and supplementation so we can see where you may be lacking.

My nails will get yellowish if I use a lot of colored polish -- even though I paint on a base coat first. It can easily be buffed off with a nail buffer. I just stay away from colored polish on my fingernails and go with french nails.
