Yellow nails

Nail art dials up the glitz and glam, and new innovations in stick-ons make it easy to achieve while ensuring nails stay healthy! Here, the best no-polish option for you

Prone to yellowing? Pick polish strips!

Porous nails can absorb pigment in polishes, leaving them discolored. The better option? Pre-cut polish strips like Color Street 100% Real Nail Polish Strips (ColorStreet.com). The 3-in-1 strips (base coat, polish and top coat) are easy to apply, won’t seep into nails and last up to two weeks.

Plagued by breakage? Choose these press-ons!

Weak, brittle nails are made worse by the acetone needed to dissolve gel polishes and acrylic glues. But the self-dissolving glue in faux nails like Static Nails (StaticNails.com) breaks down over time, so “nails” slide right off after being soaked in warm water, staving off damage. Plus, the gentle removal process allows the nails to be reused up to five more times!

Frustrated by small nail beds? Try custom gels!

If your nail beds are on the shorter side, you may have trouble painting them or finding press-ons that fit. To the rescue: custom-made gel stickers like ManiMe (ManiMe.co). All you do is upload photos of your nails to your profile, and the company prints 3D gel stickers that fit your nails and stay on for up to 14 days.
