Just like hair, your nails are protein deposits that grow as needed. They have no blood cells or veins to feed them, so they are not living.
The root of the fingernail is called the "Matrix" and is alive. The part of the nail you can see is not organically active and therefore may be considered "dead" tissue.
Alive. They are living cells but die quickly.

Fingernails and hair are dead skin cells that have undergone Keratinization. Keratin that has solidified essentially. Keratin is made up of a family of proteins.
