The white part of my nails.. or supposed to be, for about two weeks now have been slightly yellow and brittle. they also have a lot of verticle lines?

See a doctor: Or specifically a dermatologist. This sounds as if you may have onychomycosis (a fungus infection of the nail), but without the ability to see this it is impossible to diagnose long distance. Good luck.
