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).
