no it is not

The nose is mostly cartilage.

However,there are muscles that are within the nose that allow some movement, such as the procerus, nasalis, dilatator naris anterior, depressor septi, and dilatator naris posterior.

The nose is not a muscle, it is a facial feature which consists mostly of cartilage and skin and blood vessels, with a small amount of muscle. Some people can flare their nostrils, and some can't. If you can flare your nostrils, that is evidence of voluntary muscles being present in the nose. There is also nose wiggling, but that is not really done by the nose itself; it is done by moving the upper lip in a way that pulls on the nose.

No, the nose consists of bone and cartiledge although you can manipulate another muscle to "flare your nostrils".
