I put on nail varnish and then after a few days i take it off with nail varnish remover as it's chipping. When i take off the nail varnish, my finger nails look more yellowy than my normal pink nail colour. It never happened to me before and i've always used superdrugs own brand varnish remover, and i've used those nail varnish before. And now i have to out grow the yellowy colour or put on nail varnish to hide the yellowy colour, but it'll make it worse as i'll still have the yellowy colour. Can anyone tell me what's happening to my nails? thanks!

The pigment will stain your nails over time.I always use a clear base coat before I put nail polish on.Have a look at what John Gustafson has to say.

there is also a cutex nail polish remover which at the bottom of the label says "nail whitening formula" i find this really works and helps with the yellow nails.
always wear a clear base coat, and avoid leaving dark colours on for too long i.e 3 or four days, try and alternate. top coats are supposed to make it last and not chip, but i always find they chip. nail varnish on nail extensions never chips, if you dont like long nails and the chipping is annoying you, you could try a gel overlay on your own nails ( same length ) and your varnish would last much longer, however, you will need to get your gel infilled.
Use lighter color varnish. Dark colors stain the nail. Clear undercoat as others have advised sounds like it would work.
