according to: http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Toenail+fungus Definition Onychomycosis is a fungal infection of the fingernails or toenails. The actual infection is of the bed of the nail and of the plate under the surface of the nail. Description Onychomycosis is the most common of all diseases of the nails in adults. In North America, the incidence falls roughly between 2-13%. The incidence of onychomycosis is also greater in older adults, and up to 90% of the elderly may be affected. Men are more commonly infected than women. Individuals who are especially susceptible include those with chronic diseases such as diabetes and circulatory problems and those with diseases that suppress the immune system. Other risk factors include a family history, previous trauma to the nails, warm climate, and occlusive or tight footwear. Causes and symptoms Onychomycosis is caused by three types of fungi, called dermatophytes, yeasts, and nondermatophyte molds. Fungi are simple parasitic plant organisms that do not need sunlight to grow. Toenails are especially susceptible because fungi prefer dark damp places. Swimming pools, locker rooms, and showers typically harbor fungi. Chronic diseases such as diabetes, problems with the circulatory system, or immune deficiency disease are risk factors. A history of athlete's foot and excess perspiration are also risk factors. Onychomycosis can be present for years without causing pain or disturbing symptoms. Typically, the nail becomes thicker and changes to a yellowish-brown. Foul smelling debris may collect under the nail. The infection can spread to the surrounding nails and even the skin.

Nail Tek Intensive Therapy ll contains: EIHYLACETATE, SD ALCOHOL-40B,BUTYL ACETATE.NITROCELLULOSE, TOSYLAMIDE/FORMALADEHYDE, RESIN, ACRYLATES COPOLYMER, TRIPHENYL PHOSPHATE, DISOBUTYRATE, ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL, BUTYL ALCOHOL, FORMALDEHYDE, BENZOPHENONE-1 HYDROLYZED WHEAT, PROTEIN, DIMETHICONE, CALCIUM PANTOTHENATE, VIOLET #2. With all these ingredients that I have a hard time typing, it sound awful, but I just know that it works for me when nothing else has. I recently tried another product and in 2 weeks I had to start all over again with Nail Tek. Sure hope it works for you. Ingredients in Foundation 111 are ETHL ACETATE, BUTYLACETATE, ISOPROPY ALCOHOL, NITROCELLULOSE, TALC, ADPIC ACID/NEOPENPENTYL GYCOL/TRIMELLITIC ANHYDRIDE COPOLYMER, TOSYLAMIDE/EPOXY RESIN, TRIPHENYL PHOSPHATE N-BUTYL ALCOHOL, HYDRATED SILICA, TRIMETHYL, PENTANYL DISOBUTYRATE, CAMPHER, STEARALKONIUM BENTONITE, DIACETONE ALCOHOL, CITRIC ACID, VIOLET 2 ci 60725. When you combine these 2 products you will slowly begin to see good results. It takes 4 to 6 months for the nail to completely grow out. So it takes patience and following the directions in each box to be successful but you will then be proud to display your hands. I have been working about 5 months to regrow my complete nail and I have just a little bit more time to get them out over my fingertip but they are really looking nice. I hope this helps you make a decision.

I think this product will work on nails because I had no choice but to use it on my nails because I already had ordered it. It works very slowly though. I would not take any medication for a fungus because I heard that it damages the intestinal tract.

They are more like a gold color. Definitely not silver color. Almost like a dark color and gold at the center of the nail head is really the best description I can give you.

Not that I noticed. It is recommended to let the nail dry before putting anything else on it though.

I do not have very thin nails but they tend to break when I do not have on polish. You will probably see results later than I did. I say results after a week. And they grew like a weed! Make sure you keep this polish on, because when I took it off, my nails began to break again after a week.

I could not understand why this product is advertised as antifungal for nails; and then say that it does not work on Nails! It is very misleading. I paid money for this product, only to have them tell me that it is not what it is advertised to be; and no it does not work!

Sounds like steel when I tap my nail on it, but it looks like there's some kind of coating.

You apply it twice each day once in the morning and then in the evening. Next day, wash the area and start again. Keep applying in this manner until the nail has grown out and is clear of fungus.

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.

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.

Yes ofcourse that's exactly how I've been applying it since the begining. Also you have to scrap inside (between the nail and your skin)the nail gently so the dead fungus gets out and the solution gets all the way in the back

They are big they can easily fall offthe nail and they cover most of the nail. Their big and wide like a pencil eraser. They only look good on the thumb.

If it works on toe nails it should work on finger nails too. Be noted that the product only works if the fungus has not spread on the whole nail. It only works on partially infected nails.

The nails are an antique gold, I would say they have a brown tint. The nails fit very well with the headboard material. I totally recommend it to you. It looks like you paid a lot more for it.

I would think you could. However I think I would talk to a dermatologist if it involves your hands. You can wear socks and shoes to cover ugly toenails but your Hans are impossible to hide. If it were my hands I would see a doctor.
