Toenails: Sorry that your nails are broken. How did they break? Since you are 18, it is probably from a trauma or injury that they are turning color, however sometimes it could be more sinister. If the color is concerning to you, you may want to see your physician for a referral to a specialist (either podiatrist or dermatologist).
