My nails were green this week for St patty day ...and no matter how much polish remover I use they are still tinted. Good trick to get them white again??

Did you use a base coat? That's the key for me to prevent discoloration from darker colors.

Yes. It's green tint around my cuticles too...thinking maybe soak them and scrub with baking soda?

That sounds reasonable. The baking soda might have mild abrasive properties.

Whitening toothpaste, scrub it in with a nail rush and let it sit.

I usually just paint over the stained nails with a lighter color. The next time I remove polish, the stains are gone.

Sally Hansen Instant Cuticle Remover may help. It certainly helps to whiten my nails when they get a little yellow from wearing polish all the time. Can't hurt to try.
