Removing Nicotine Stain Under Nails: Expert Advice & Safe Methods

Question
how can i get rid of the nicotine color under my nails

Answer
Hello Penny;

It is funny you asked this question as I was just at a friends place whom had nicotine on her right finger the index finger mostly and I had just given her Gel Enhancements....


It does look ugly, dirty and non lady like for sure. Anyhow, I recommend Javex in most cases but if you are wearing tips, gel or acrylic nails, you cannot dip your fingers in javex as it will totally destroy your nails!

TRY using a cotton ball and just soak the ball in jaxex slightly, not so that it is dripping wet, as this will get on your nails.... just so that the cotton is moist and rub around the nails on the skin where the nicotine is located, be sure to wash your hands throughly.

OR you can wait until your enhancements are removed to soak your fingers....

I hope this has helped you. If i come up with anymore suggestions I will again reply to this post.

Please rate my reply If you have the time. I thank you for your question and hope it is a successful method for you.

P.S. When smoking always be sure your cigarette is upwards, pointing towards the ceiling as the nicotine will barely touch the skin and if you smoke the cigarettte right down to the filter then the closer the heat is to your skin the more nicotine you will get on your fingers as well.

I put my smoke between my 1st 2 fingers, index and longest finger and hold it just below the knuckle, closer to the end of the finger and I rarely have to take nicotine off my fingers :)

Have a great weekend!
