We are all aiming to have beautiful, neat, white nails but, that can be an issue if we often use various nail polishes. Yellow stained nails can be a result of using nail polishes because they stain your nails with leftover dyes , so the solution is to use a base coat as a barrier. That can help you to protect your nails from the yellow stains. If you are a smoker, these stains can be caused by the nicotine from the cigarettes.
But if you are not a smoker or if you do not use a nail polish, then you should see a doctor because yellow stains can often be a result of a fungal infection that includes flaking and peeling off of the nail.
