Nail Whitening Products- Bubble White vs. Denture Tablets

If you are a regular reader of my blog then you know that I love me some nail polish.  If you are new to my blog welcome, and just so you know, I love me some nail polish.  I have a nice little collection of lovely colors and it is rare that my finger tips are bare.  That being said my nails have taken some abuse with the constant polish changes.  One polish in particular left them extremely yellow after I wore it for a few days.  I didn't take a picture right away but they were nasty.  Here is what they looked like even a few weeks after I took that polish off.  You can see the nice white regrowth and the yucky yellowed tips.

I was fed up with my discolored nails so I decided to do some research on how to whiten them.  I heard good things about an affordable product called Bubble White (bought at Sally Beauty)as well as a cheaper solution using denture tablets (bought at any drugstore).  I decided to try each of these treatments out to see which one worked better at whitening my nails.  Watch the video below to find out what polish made my nails so yellow in the first place and how each of these products worked for me.  Then check out the before and after picture below as well.

Here are the results with the Bubble White

 

As you can see they are visibly brighter and less yellow.  I wouldn't call them "white" but this product did make a difference.  They recommend using it once a week and I do believe that a second treatment would have done even more whitening. 

And here are the results using the denture tablets

My nails on this hand were less yellow to start with so it is harder to tell if the denture cleaning tablets did anything.  They are a tad less yellow but that is only if you are really looking closely at some of the areas on my middle finger and pinky.  Again repeated weekly use may yield better results.

Final thoughts:  Both products were easy to use, had a pleasant smell,  and left my nails and cuticles clean and soft.  The denture tablets took longer (15 min.) but were cheaper ($1 for 16) and less effective.  The Bubble White was more expensive ($2.49) but faster to use (5 min.) and more effective with just one use.  If I ever need to use a nail whitening product again I would chose the Bubble White.

What do you think of my results?  Have you tried either of these products or any other nail whitening treatments?  Let me know in the comments here or on my video.

I'm off to paint my nails...again!
