Possible culprit: Fungal Infection.  it is  frequently due to a fungal infection of the nail plate. A reaction to the cement used to attach artificial nails, trauma resulting in microfractures of the nail plate during manicures or artificial nail placement or the use of dirty grooming tools can all be contributing factors. Your nails may also turn greenish, white, yellow or even black as they loosen. These infections are tough to treat but not impossible. See your dermatologist who can prescribe an antifungal medication.
