Not recommended: Denture cleansers are designed to clean dentures while they are out of the mouth and should not be applied to dentures while they are still in the mouth. Your skin is the largest organ in your body... Since the skin which surrounds nails can absorb the toxins in the denture cleanser, another whitening solution which is safer would be recommended.

Safe? Probably: It's probably safe, but i can't imagine it would be very effective. A bigger question is why are your nails discolored? Have your md check this out.

Never seen it: Doubtful that you will get any problems. The cleansers are antimicrobial effervescents, and will clean a stained coffee cup pretty well. Nails ? Don't have any experience with that. I suspect you will soak your fingertips in the solution. I don't think there will be any problems of a serious nature, if at all.

Not well: Denture cleanser is for dentures and not meant for your fingers.
