NAILS GROW FROM MANY THINGS INCLUDING THE SUN, NUTRIENTS FROM THE THINGS ALL AROUND U AND MANY MORE THINGS. HA!!! Nice answer I happen to be an expert on nails and not just painting them. Well your nails grow from protein. They also grow like your skin because that's what they are a modified type of skin. When your old nail cells die. Your new ones push them out of the way. Your old ones create a protein for your new ones causing them to grow 2 mm per month. To keep them healthy you should use lots of moisturizer. With your toenails cut them straight across. Not curved otherwise it will cause an ingrowth that pierces your skin. Your fingernails can be cut curved but it's better to do them straight across. Yes I know this answer is way better than the other one.

As a body part, nails are made of keratin which is a tough protein. The nail is actually similar in structure to the hair.The growth rate of the nail is dependent on many factors such as the age of the person, the season, the activity level of the person and other factors including those of heredity. In some studies, nails have been measured to have an average growth rate of 0.03 centimeters a day. This translates to one centimeter of nail growth after every one hundred days. Fingernails have different growth rates when compared to toenails. On average, fingernails can completely be regrown in four to six months. Toenails, on the other hand will need 12 to 18 months to fully regrow.

Cell mitosis takes place at the matrix.

New cells pushed forward by constant cell reproduction.

Cells undergo hardening/keratinisation.

Growing nail is guided along nail grooves/side wall.
