How to Fix Yellow Nails with OPI Repair Mode

Quick answer

To fix yellow nails, first determine if the discoloration is surface staining or structural damage. For staining, gentle buffing and a break from polish help; for damage, use OPI Repair Mode Bond Building Nail Serum to strengthen and restore nails from within.

Diagnose and fix yellow nails

• Symptom: Yellow discoloration on one or more nails, often with a dull or brittle texture.
• Likely cause: Surface staining from dark polish or structural damage from repeated polish use, dehydration, or physical stress. If the yellowing is only on the surface and fades after a few days without polish, it is likely staining.
• Corrective action: For surface staining, gently buff the nail and take a break from polish. For structural damage, apply OPI Repair Mode Bond Building Nail Serum daily to help rebuild and reinforce natural bonds. Continue the serum routine for at least two weeks to see improvement in nail strength and appearance.
• When to stop or choose another option: Stop home treatment and consult a healthcare provider if you see pain, swelling, thickening, nail separation, or spreading discoloration. These may indicate a fungal infection or other medical condition. OPI Repair Mode is a cosmetic treatment, not a medication. It cannot cure infections or underlying health issues.
