I am not into skin whitening as most Pinays are into these days. However, I am in the quest for the best and most economical nail whitener. Due to my love for pedis and nail color, I noticed that my toe nails have gotten that undesired shade of yellow.
In the past, I've used this de-yellowing serum from Sephora. It is a clear polish with a tint of pink. I think it is more of a cosmetic remedy than a nail treatment.

I also tried brushing my nails with whitening toothpaste. I may not have done this too often so I haven't seen any significant color change.
Other measures I've taken were:
Online sources mentioned the following home remedies:
a) soaking nails in lemon juice (click this for more details)
b) coating nails with a paste using hydrogen peroxide and baking soda (click this for more details)
Another source has mentioned using both methods, starting with the soaking and ending with the paste.
I will combine both treatments and check for significant changes.
Tune in for future updates!

Other measures I've taken were:
- Veering away from local brands (read: cheap) because I heard that they contain formaldehyde. This ingredient has been known to cause yellow nails.
- Using nail polish removers without acetone.
- Allowing nails to breathe. If I have nail color this week, my nails will be without color in the next week.
- Not letting my polish stay for more than a week.
