Yellowing nails are one of the most common nail concerns.
Harmless causes: frequent use of dark nail polish or exposure to certain chemicals.
Other possible causes: fungal infections, smoking, or even respiratory issues in rare cases.
Tip: if nails stay yellow after removing polish and grow slowly, it may be worth checking further.
3️⃣ Ridges on the Nails
Lines and ridges can show up on nails as we get older — and many times, they’re just a natural part of aging.
Vertical ridges (from cuticle to tip): usually normal and harmless.
Deep horizontal ridges (called Beau’s lines): sometimes linked to stress, nutritional deficiencies, or health conditions that interrupted nail growth.
Tip: occasional ridges are fine, but sudden deep changes might deserve attention.
4️⃣ Healthy Nails
Smooth surface.
Consistent pinkish color.
No strange marks, spots, or changes.
These usually point to good overall health and well-balanced nutrition. ✨
