Do you mean A&E? Thats a protein and vitamin treatment but it's not specifically targeted to staining.

Turning to yellow is mostly connected to dark color polishes (at least I have this experience) and that's why I always use some nude color polish as a base and I never had any problems with those stains.

Nail Staining.

So, I've really gotten into nail polish lately and usually wear darker colors with a bright (usually green) on the ring finger. I've used Nail Tek and MAC Underlacquer as a base coat and I still have awful staining on my ring finger. Does anyone know of a better base coat that won't leave my nail stained or is there a way to remove the stain?
Thanks!

I don't think this is true because I keep clear nail polish on my finger nails at all times (excepting once a week when I remove it all and start all over), and my nails are never yellow. The nail polish will start to yellow, but when I remove it my nails are still white.
I definitely agree about the dark polish causing stains! That's always been my experience, and it sucks.

Even with a base coat, if I leave the polish on for too long I have trouble.
