Acrylic nails should not yellow, not if they are made from top quality acrylics. If they do are yellow, it is most often due to a product which you are using, like nail polishes, and will only stain the very top of the nail, not the entire way through the nail. Suntanning accelerators, and lotions, cremes, etc., can also stain the surface of your nails. Just be sure to wash your hands good after using any of these products - before tanning, if possible. Always use a basecoat when using polish on acrylic nails. This will help to prevent staining, and it will make the polish last longer by giving it something to adhere to. A gentle buffing should remove surface stains.The reason this happens is that acrylic nails are porous, and thus, products such as nail polish - especially darker shades, can easily penetrate the surface
If they are stained all the way through the nail, then chances are that you have gotten either poor quality acrylic applied to your nails, or acrylic which contains a substance called MMA(cheap, and will ruin your nails, and possibly be harmful to your health as well. This is not for use on nails, and it is illegal to use on nails in many states. This is not for use on nails, ever. But its really cheap to buy, so lots of discount salons use it anyway). These will yellow all the way through. Always make sure you go to a reputable salon which uses nothing but top quality products. The containers which hold the liquid and powders should be clearly labeled. If they are not, then this is usually a sign that it is not a good quality product. Always ask which acrylic product line they are using. If the containers are unmarked, as is usually the case at discount salons, then don't be afraid to ask them to show you the original containers. If they have nothing to hide, then they should not have a problem with this sort of request. Look for names on the containers such as Creative Nail Design, Tammy Taylor, Entity Beauty, Young Nails, and there are a few more good ones too.
One way to avoid yellow nails altogether is to get gel nails. Be certain that you are getting real gel nails. Gel nails uses nothing but gels, they have the consistency of a hair styling gel, and come in various colors, most commonly clear, white, and numerous shades of pink, though there are also lots of other colors available now as well. Gel nails do NOT contain any liquid and powder. If the tech is applying any L %26amp; P, then you are getting acrylic nails, not gel nails. It happens all the time, beware of this. And there is no such thing as ';powder gel'; either, though some scammers will refer to their 'gel' as being this. Gel is gel, not powder. Period.
About Solar nails: They are regular acrylics. They are not some new type of nail, or nail product. Don't be fooled into thinking that they are not acrylic, because they are though lots of discount salons are marketing them as some sort of new nail product. This is false. The term is a play on words, and typically refers to Pink %26amp; White nails (Permanent French). Thus, the price should never be any higher than it is for P%26amp;W's, because thats what they are! SoarNail is an acrylic product line that is made by Creative Nail Design. It was first introduced back in the later 1970's, and is still used today, though not very often because the acrylic industry has changed and improved for the better over the years so that much better acrylic products are now being used. But, CND remains to be one of the top nail companies in existence because they have kept up with all the changes, and this is reflected in their current nail product offerings including acrylics, gels and many more nail care products. Just a bit of info for ya!I wear arcylic nails--how do I keep them from discoloring in the tanning bed?
If it's doing that to your nails imagine what its doing to your body as you regularly do this. From a guys point of view, the fake baked girls don't look good and everybody knows that its fake. You can also tell the women in their thirties who have been doing this for a long time look so much older and their skin is nasty. Do you want to be one of those women with wrinkly cleavage? A healthy glow from a LITTLE sun exposure looks so much better.
You could use a darker polish, or if you like French tips you could switch from acrylic to gel (they don't really discolor). Or you could put cotton around your fingertips before you get in, or even maybe douse them in SPF 50.
Oh gross. Tanning and acrylic nails. Make sure your polish doesn't have any formaldehyde in it. This is what causes the yellwing.
Try solar nails instead. They're similar to acryllic, and cost slightly more, but they don't turn yellow when you tan.
there are caps you can wear on your nails made special for arcyic nails
if not all i can think of is cover up the tips with lotion or towels
if you go to a good tanning place they have nail covers you can buy/use. Ask them next time you go in there!
don't go fake baking...it is really bad for your skin and nails
well your fake..ha ha fake nails and fake tan ha
put something over them when u tan
Try having a gel set put on next time you have your nails done. They last longer and won't discolor like acrylic nails. I have had this problem before too.
