Does one dare use a nail polish to cover up the fungus on a big toe?

Norma, I have been going to a doctor for nail fungus and have learned there is no cure for nail fungus. Certainly, you can put nail polish on your nails over the fungus.

I find that the solution Is wicked under the nail right after I shower and not so much when the skin has dried. I imagine if you use it after you shower and maybe soak your foot another time that nail polish wouldn't hurt.

Short answer: No Polish. Long answer: I bought this in Sept. 2013. It stated on the packaging that is was not effective for nails, and references treatment for athlete's foot and ringworm. The package picture is misleading. I gave it a try by first filing down my nail and exposing as much of the underlying tissue as possible. This product had no effect on the fungus in my nail bed. I stopped using the Fungi Nail solution in July 2013. For the last year, I have been using only a solution of original flavor Listerine, distilled white vinegar directly after showering and letting it dry on the nail and surrounding tissue. I stuck to this regiment religiously for a full year. I removed and filed down the damaged nail regularly. Additionally, I stopped wearing toenail polish and wore open-toed shoes whenever possible. My nail is now almost fully healed and grown back in normally. Only a very small edge of damaged nail needs to finish growing out.

This product did not work for me. My doctor said that nail fungus can not be cured. My advice is to contact your own doctor and find out the same information as I just provided here.

When I used it, I just applied a layer over the toenails of a cleaned foot. Give it a few minutes to dry, then you can put your socks on.I do not use it anymore and changed to plain vinegar per my podiatrist recommendation. It is a year long process, and you need to hang in there. Quick fixes if advertised are clearly bogus...would not happen.

No more than what it would take to cover a long nail. It depends on the polish you use. The white are a bit easier to coat than the clear if the polish you use is sheer.

I don't know why not. It's a clear tint with one coat, two coats begin to look like a French Manicure and three coats are fabulous. Four and five coats are for YOU when you don't have time to redo it all. Every time your nails begin to look a little rough just add another coat. It's easily removed with any nail polish remover.

No absolutely not, toe fungus is to be treated by a professional physician, never to drill down the thickness of toenails either because it could cause sevire damage to the nail plate of the toe and it's matrix, it could cause the nail to never grow back.

I just started using it for a toe nail fungus which will take a long time to know if it works or not. Sorry, but I have no other experience with it other than what I've read about the product in general.

Yes! I have a slight case of toe nail fungus which made the white part of my big toe nail get thick and wide. After 90 days of nightly tea tree oil applications my toe nails look normal again. Now I just apply twice weekly.

Yes to both questions. You might need to soak your feet in warm water to soften the toenails.

Yes. If you are putting on with no color just use a clear coat to keep it in place. Same goes for if you are putting right over a color on your own nail, just be sure to use a clear coat or top coat to keep it in place.

I haven't tried that myself but I don't see why not. From what I read on other sites before I made the purchase, the top coat is actually the more durable coat. I think in salons you can get just the top coat on and shellac is a lot harsher. This stuff comes off with no nail damage. Hope that helps. :)

I only used it on toe nail fungus and it was worthless. I threw it in the trash after 7 months.

Yes. I have used this product on a big toe; it appeared to work quite well. NOTE: Be sure to follow the directions on the side of the bottle carefully. Good Luck!

You can do all three I think :) I tend to wear it without polish - I'm always using my hands for work so any coloured nail polish I wear chips very easily. It does work very well as a base coat though. Hope this helps!

Yes. Don't soak feet before or it will trap water under the nail. Its a tight squeeze but all your toes should fit.

No, but I use it with nail polish. It really works if you follow the directions.

It's what I'm using it on and I had some serious fungus on my left big toe and a lot of malformation of the other nails on that foot. Was trying other over counter remedies but it would knock it back for a while and it always came back. My doctor wanted to put me on a pill that would have distressed my liver and since I was already taking something for high cholesterol, I wanted something topical. Started the first of January, have no more fungus on any of the nails of my left foot. The stuff's great. EM
