I bleached my nails

And they look fantastic. Morgan had mentioned it in the fake nail thread the other day. It had never even occured to me to bleach my nails. I typically take the polish off then use a nail brush and dish soap (it removes the oils) to scrub them before reapplying polish. The tops of my nails aren't stained because I always use a coat or two of base before applying color. In the spring/summer I like to just use that but since I've been using lotion with a self tanner my nails have been getting stained despite washing after application.

Last night I put a little bleach in a bowl, soaked my nails for no longer than a minute, scrubbed them with a nail brush then again with some dish soap. They look and feel better than they ever have. Almost as if a layer of film was taken off the tops which I would have thought polish remover and dish soap would have taken care of. I'm going to start doing this once a month.
