This weird trick will make your nails look brighter and cleaner

You won't believe what it entails
When we first heard about this nail brightening trick, we were kind of floored.
It’s so simple. So easy. So intuitive. But we literally never thought of it ourselves.
The answer? Toothpaste.
So how do you go about utilizing this fingertip trick in your spa schedule?
Start with a pea-sized portion of toothpaste, then scrub it into your nails using a toothbrush — break out a new one or one that you’re just about ready to throw away.
Use a circular motion the same way you do on your teeth, but be gentle! You don’t want to harm the nail with abrasive scrubbing. Then let it sit for five minutes. Once you’re done, rinse it off and over time you’ll find yourself with nails so bright and white it seems like magic.
