Why do my nails get stained after painting them?

Question

Any time I paint my nails a red or pink.. any strong color my nails always are stained after I remove the color. I don't leave the color on for more than a few days at a time with plenty of time in between colors. How do I remove the "stains" ? They wear off eventually, but it's just ugly meanwhile.

Answer 1

You need to use a good quality basecoat prior to applying any polish. No, clear nail polish is NOT the same thing as basecoat. Using a basecoat will help to prevent staining.

Answer 3

It helps if you put a clear coat on before you paint them.
