My toenails definitely grow faster than my fingernails. I must be one of the unusual people in this world because everything I read sayd that fingernails grow faster. I know for a fact that my toenails grow faster, but I have no idea why. I wish my fingernails would grow as fast as my toenails! I don't think that toenails grow faster than fingernails, it's that toenails tend to be stronger so they don't break as easily. That's why it seems to some people that their toenails are growing faster than their fingernails; Fingernails are more susceptible to breakage because they are thinner.

Can tapping your finger nails make them grow faster?

Theoretically increasing bloodflow to the ends of your fingers should increase nail growth. (Within reason; once you reach a certain amount of bloodflow to your fingers, increasing it further will have very little impact upon nail growth). So tapping your fingernails may increase bloodflow, but it seems likely that you may also chip your nails doing this. Touch-typing, knitting etc... should have the same impact upon increasing bloodflow, and may also prove more productive than tapping your fingernails. (I personally find that knitting really strengthens my nails).
