So, I’m pretty new to painting nails, and this is the second time I painted them ever.

I painted my nails 5 days ago and applied a top coat. I applied a second layer + top coat 4 days ago, since I managed to scratch the paint quite fast. The second layer only covered up the scratches. Today I realised, that the paint started to get this yellowish tone. Primarily around the areas where I applied a second layer.

Is there something I could have done to prevent this?

Edit: the different colors are all fromthe same brand (the top coat is from a different brand) and they all have this phenomenon).

    Yeah these fancy colors don’t really last that long, black tho, still looks fashionable when chipped

      I love that about black. It goes from chic and classy, to making-a-statement. You have to try and scrape it off and leave big, bare patches to really make it look less cool.

      Wait what? My black nail polish always chipped quite quickly and I was really embarrassed when I didn’t find time to fix it for the next day.
