I'm a smoker
Neither my nails, NOR my fingers are yellow. Not even the TEENSIEST WEENSY bit.
If someone has yellowed/brown "grotty' nails or fingers,the causes are:
- they don't wash their hands often enough AND they don't use a nailbrush
- they're holding their cigarettes in such a way as the smoke curls upwards to their fingers (dangling the ciggy instead of it pointing upwards) to stain them
- they're holding them and letting them smolder instead of putting them down in an ashtray between puffs.
First, they need to correct the above 3 things.
THEN
You can get a product at nailiteinc.com (and I've seen it elsewhere too, but don't remember where) called "Nail Brite Whitening Scrub" and use that with a nailbrush and warm water. Let is sit on the nails/skin for a moment or two and rinse it off.
I bought it specifically for my clients with this problem
What drives me insane, they swear they used a nail brush at home.. but they're hands are much cleaner after one wash with the nailbrush here in my bathroom.
Dont think my nailbrushes or soap or water are any different than anywhere else.
Do they honestly think we believe them?????????
