Trim your toenails regularly by trimming across in a straight line instead of around at an angle to avoid ingrown nails. If your feet are ever sore, just stretch your calf muscles out or soak your feet in warm water mixed with Epsom salt. Moisturize your feet if they're dry using a lotion designed specifically for your feet.

You can try using hydrogen peroxide or lemon juice as recommended in the article and using clear nail polish under colored nail polish to prevent further staining. If change in color is accompanied by other changes to the nail, such as thickening or foul smell, this could indicate a fungal infection and you should see a podiatrist or physician.
