That's one of the things I read is that yellowing doesn't really matter all that much if you're always wearing polish -- it's not actively damaging your nails in any way. My color was pretty sheer and I was lazying it as a fake French manicure, where you could see the white part of the nail contrasting with the nail bed -- but it doesn't look as good when the nails have a yellow tinge that shows through.
Yeah, that's true, that's the only thing that actually bothers. I've started using the Essie smooth-e base coat which is quite "milky" so it sort of color corrects it enough. I think there's bases that are specifically meant to do this, and you can probably use a sheer polish to achieve the same! All in all with what I hear about the processes to whiten the nail, color correcting is a better long term option I think
