A member asked:
Could you possibly put on an artificial toenail?
5 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
This is possible: Just as you can use artificial fingernails, you can use artificial toenails. This should be done for short intervals only. If you have had your nails permanently removed, this is an option if you are really in need of aesthetics. I would advise proper caution. Some of the adhesives available can be rough on the skin. This is not recommended for diabetics or those with poor circulation.

Yes: This is possible. Keryflex is one of the methods being done by podiatrists.

Yes: Yes, these are sold at drug stores everywhere. They are the same as artificial press on fingernails. Best of luck.
