How Can Toenails Be Softened?

Will sweet oil help to soften my toe nail beds? I have had my toenails permanently removed and struggle to keep them in a decent appearance due to the skin build up? I tried tea tree oil and it tends to dry them out more than soften them for exfoliating to the extreme degree that they require.
