Use lemon juice
As we get older, toenails can get a nasty yellow tinge, like teeth, because they get thicker and dryer as more layers of tough protective keratin (the protein that nails are made of) build up.
Use a glass file, which is the least abrasive, to gently file the top of the nail every couple of months to keep it light coloured and tidy. Lemon juice squeezed onto a toothbrush and brushed over the toenail works as a natural lightener, too, bleaching the surface. When painting toenails, always use a basecoat first to prevent the colour staining the nail over time and if you have wide nails, apply the colour with gaps at the sides to optically slim the nail and your toe. The result will be more elegant.
