Another pinterest try...

Welp tried something else off of my many many pins that I have made.  And for those that know me, know I am not a girly girl.  I have started to paint my toenails though and I noticed last time i took my color off, my nails had yellowed just a bit.
So, I found this pin that claimed - 1 tbsp of peroxide and 2 tbsp of baking soda paste and leaving it on for 5 minutes would take the yellow out and leave bright white nails.

So I am thinking HEY!! I would love for my nails to look THAT white.  I will give it a try.

After the quick mix of the paste (thank goodness I had both the ingredients....lol)  I rubbed it on thick on each of my toenails.  
I would show you the picture of the paste on my toes but I don't have the prettiest toes and it would make me gross out seeing them on the screen!

No - this picture is not of my feet (this is the picture from the original pinterest post)....

Well the paste mixture didn't work.  They didn't change a bit in color. 

Typically I click on the pinterest link so I can read the original link...to see what the project is really about.  WELLL,  I didn't do that this time.  After it didn't work I decided I better check this out.  Shape magazine was the original source of information and it actually suggested that a person use the whitening toothpaste and scrub brush.   

So, after getting smart and reading the directions, I did that.  The nails look great.  It worked!!!  :)  So if you would like to try to whiten your nails...trust me. USE the whitening toothpaste.
