Well, your toenails have pores. so they need to breathe. The best thing is not to wear nail polish all the time, and when you take your nail polish off, leave it off for about a week before painting them again.

Toenails only have pores if the "shine" of the nail is removed- your nails don't swell and fall off when you have a shower.

The nail polish remover is the main problem because of the potent chemicals used to remove the varnish. You can actually get white flecks on toenails that look like toenail fungus, but they are not. But constant use of remover can damage your toenail.
