Ringworm of the Nails (Tinea Unguium). This is the most common fungal infection of the nails, also called onychomycosis. It can make fingernails look white, thick, opaque, and brittle, but more often toenails look yellow, thick, and brittle. Artificial nails increase the risk for tinea unguium as emery boards can carry infection, and water can collect under the artificial nail, creating a moist, warm environment favorable for fungal growth.

Do you have ugly, yellow, cracked toenails? Are you embarrassed to wear sandals…
