Anyway, take a dremel with the sandpaper drum attachment... grind down as much of the outer part of the nail as you can to thin it down in thickness. Then buy PURE teatree oil at the health food store... NOT the teatree oil mixture, just pure teatree oil. Apply it to your nail (saturate the nail) twice/daily until the nail has grown out. It worked great for me... just keep the nail as thin as you can, and saturate it thoroughly... One bottle only costs about $7-10. No nasty side effects.

One of my toenails started to curl and developed a dark hue and began to thicken with fungus. I used pure tea oil on it sporadic and it didn't seem to do much until I COMMITTED to SATURATE the nail TWO times per day. After over a month or so, the toenail began to turn white. It began to also shed the layers of nail. I the whitened nail down with a an electric nail file, and all the layers just fell off. It left behind a thin healthy looking nail under layers. I cut it short and filed it. I am going to continue 2x a day ritual until nail grows longer and stronger. I also must say I use to be a Certified Podiatry Assistant for 4 years. The doctors treatment was to Grind down fungal nails from thickness and prescribe topical medications that did not work. They knew they didn't work, but prescribed them anyway, they even told me they didn't work.. I never saw them cure fungal nails, only repeating prescriptions that didn't work and grind nails down because patients couldn't clip them for themselves. Patients nails just continued to worsen and continue to thicken. So thankful for earthclinic, for learning about tea tree oil for fungal nails.
