Could be both fungus and stain.  Arcrylic nails harbor all sorts of germs.  Nurses in some hospitals are banded from wearing them.\nConsult with your doctor.  You don't want to go around spreading disease.

It depends whether you've damaged the nail bed or not.\n\nNails are grown from a specialised area of skin called a nail bed. The cells gradually reproduce and dead ones get mixed with a hard protein called keratin, which makes your nail.  When you get an injury much like you've described, someimes this gets damaged. Usually it recovers, but if the cells at the nail bed have all been killed off it may not.\n\nSome people's take a month, some longer. Some take up to a year.\n\nThe vast majority do grow back but you'll just have to wait and see. If it hasn't grown back within a year, it's not going to. \n\nAnd no, I'm afraid there's nothing you can do about it. On the plus side (assuming you had no other injuries to your big toe like a broken bone), other than cosmetic issues it won't give you any long-term problems- it just looks unusual.

Improve your nutrition.  Your fingernails are one of the telltale signs of good or bad nutrition.  Anything you apply to the nails will only be a temporary solution...you'll have to figure out what your body is missing in order to see a real change.

I believe it's because the keratin that makes up your nails grows at different rates - the top grows slightly faster than that on the bottom causing them to cuve.

It works, but you have to do it faithfully several times a day. You'll start seeing new healthy nail growth in about 2 weeks to a month.

It doesn't-- it's an old myth. As the drying skin recedes from the bone, more nail is exposed giving it the appearance of growth. As for the hair, I guess it was just an assumption since it still looks normal after the skin shrivels.

The eyes have been called the windows to the soul. But your fingernails can be an excellent barometer of your physical health. From little white lines to big dark streaks, your fingernails may be trying to tell you something.\n\n\n\n"Deficiencies in one's diet or systemic diseases or even medicines that are used to treat a problem can result in defects in the nail," says Dr. Jacquelyn Garrett, a Christian Hospital dermatologist.\n\n\n\nThose little white lines are the most common defect. Those are generally considered harmless. \n\n\n\n"Isolated white lines on the nail can be just a result of trauma. But the white appearance of the entire nail can be more of a signifying result of an internal disease such as anemia once again or a fungal infection locally, aids can even result in changes in the nail color," says Dr. Garrett.\n\n\n\nA concave or spoon shaped nail is reason for concern. That can also mean low iron levels in the blood or anemia.\n\n\n\n"That's a readily treatable problem by analyzing their blood and seeing what the blood counts are and remedying it with iron supplements."\n\n\n\nA half-white and half-pink or half-brownish nail can mean kidney or liver disease. People with the skin disease psoriasis may see a thickening or pitting of their nails. And brown or black streaks not caused by trauma are always cause for concern.\n\n\n\n"Brown and black streaks in the nail, that could be indicative of malignant melanoma and that is very serious," says Dr. Garrett.\n\n\n\nUsually after the health problem has been addressed, the nails will go back to normal.

Try eating more Jello. Believe it or not, Jello or foods with geletin in it helps nails become more healthy. I play guitar with the nails of my right hand and learned of this and use it myself to strengthen my nails to withstand the stresses guitar strings put on my nails.

Because as we age our bodies process the nutrients necessary for growing healthy nails changes.  I don't have a reason why they get thicker, but the change in growth speed has to do with how our bodies process its nutrients.

Actually vitamins! When I was on vitamins my hair and nails grew like crazy! You'll find your hair and nails are stronger and more lustrous than ever. A daily vitamin with 100% of the minerals and vitamins recommended ought to do it! Good luck......let me know how it goes!

As long as you didnt damage the cuticle, it should grow back fine, although it will probably take several months for a full nail.  In the meantime, keep it clean to prevent it from becoming infected.  Wouldnt hurt to keep some triple antibiotic ointment or neosporin on it either.
