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
