Question by Wasian538: how does one yellow their fingernails for a costume?
im trying to do this for an independent movie. i need to grow my fingernails and yellow them to make them look old and unkept. how do i achieve yellower fingernails that look natural? or better yet any kind of old-looking stained fingernail?

This wouldn’t be permanent, but what if you soaked them in tea or coffee (like when you were little and tried to make paper look old, at least i did that)

I feel like that should work well.
