That Colgate Optic White Radiant toothpaste you are using to keep your teeth clean and get your teeth whiter can be used on your nails, too! Take a clean toothbrush and use it to scrub your nails.

These two ingredients that you have laying around in your fridge can do wonders for your nails. Squeeze the juice from half a lemon and mix with enough baking soda to make a paste like mixture. Place the paste on your nails for 3 to 5 minutes and then scrub. Whiter nails, instantly!
BAKING SODA & HYDROGEN PEROXIDE
Seeing the trend with baking soda? Make a similar paste like mixture, using 3% hydrogen peroxide and baking soda. Let the paste sit on your nails for 3-5 minutes then rinse off with warm water for whiter and brighter nails.
