Yes, both fingernails and toenails are made of a protein called keratin, which is also the main protein found in human hair.
The part of the nail that you can see is actually non-living tissue. The only living part of the nail is the matrix, most of which lies hidden beneath the skin at the base of the nail, just as the only living part of a hair is the root hidden beheath the skin.
