Not the actual nail polish, but the stain it leaves once you take it off..( the black stain).

    Buff them lightly to remove them.
    Scrub your nails with a nail brush with warm soapy water.
    Use lemon or toothpaste to remove stains a little.

    This will help move most or a little stain. Usually it takes time for it to grow out.

    c’mon, I’m a guy and I even know this: nail polish remover or rubbing alcohol, if it’s really stained badly, it’ll just grow out.

    In future don’t use cheap nail polish without first putting on a base coat. But since we do anyway the best way to reduce the stains is to go without nail polish for a couple weeks.

    Let the nail breathe a bit between coats,
    fungus will grow if you don’t.

    2 suggestions:

    1 – soak finger nails in pure lime juice and also rub the lime juice over the nails with cotton.

    2 – learn from this mistake and use base coat the next time.

    I have used lemon juice to remove red…not sure if it will work on black? But soak your nails in it for about 2-5 minutes and buff gently with a nail file.

    Im not sure how to get rid of the stain but I can tell you how to prevent it in future. Use a clear base coat to keep the color from sinking into your nail. Just apply it like regular nail polish, allow to try for a minute then apply your nail polish & then a top coat.
