When switching from a darker nail to a neutral, why do nails sometimes turn yellow?
Deborah Lippmann: Yellowing nails don’t mean you are unhealthy. You may be wearing a lot of pigment in your nail polish. Try a thicker, ridge filling base coat if you are wearing really pigmented colors. It could also be from sunscreen. Or, of course, if you’re using acrylics on your nails. Fake nails are how I stopped biting. I can’t believe you bit your nails. Deborah Lippmann: That’s how I got into the business! When I was younger, I bit my nails. I started performing – singing, I’m a jazz singer – and when I got on stage, I was holding the microphone and the director was like “No, no, no. Put on a set of nails,” and I was like, “[gasps].” I felt so comfortable. It was a really life changing thing. For how to perfectly polish, check back on Friday!
