cut you nails short and buy a baby toothbrush for softness
use antibiotic soap and brush the end of your fingers until fungus is all gone

You can try applying any of the over the counter antifungal creams usually designed for athlete’s foot. There are also other preparations for fungus, just ask the pharmacist to recommend one. However, if the fungus is under the nail, the quickest and best way to get rid of it is to see a doctor and get a prescription. There are tablets as well as creams that are needed to get rid of some fungal infections. If this is on your feet, then you should be santizing your socks in the wash and treating your shoes as well. For the shoes you can use a powder or spray. For the socks, it’s a boiling in bleach, with a serious bake dry cycle. Or a trip to the microwave while damp, for a couple minutes. Either way kills fungus spores. Also need to do a serious deep clean in the bathroom, since fungal spores like warm damp spots. The tub and floor need regular cleaning with a sanitizing solution. You should not go barefoot in any public lockerroom, wear shower shoes at all times there. If these don’t help, then you really should seek out a doctor.

Novartis is working on a less dangerous follow up to Lamisil, and there are currently laser based antifungal therapies in the works. There is no good way to treat onychomycosis (toe nail fungus). You can keep your nails trimmed, and dry (maybe wear sandals is possible? (depending on how bad they look?).

Your best bet to alleviate the symptoms is to use an antifungal cream daily,[azole cream like clotrimazole] this wont cure it but it should alleviate the symptoms as long as it is being used (its hard to treat the fungus in the toenail but it should reduce some of the color and thickening).

Good luck
