Eggshell nail disorder is where a persons finger nails (toe nails could be affected too I suppose) are thin, flexible, white, and curve over the edge of the finger. The nails are also much more fragile than normal ones, which is one of the reasons they're known as 'eggshell nails.'
It's caused by poor diet, some medications, and genetic factors.

Eggshell nails are very thin and fragile. This condition causes your nail to curve dramatically over the tip of your finger. Eggshell nails may be caused by medication, diet or even a nervous disorder.
An eggshell nail is a noticeably thin white nail plate that is more flexible than normal. Eggshell nails are normally weaker and can curve over the free edge. The condition is usually caused by improper diet, hereditary factors, internal disease or medication. Be very careful when manicuring these nails because they are fragile and can break easily. Use the fine side of an abrasive board (240 grit or higher) to file them gently and remove as little of the nail plate as possible. Don't use heavy pressure with a pusher at the base of the nail plate, because the nail is thinnest here and most likely to be punctured.
Eggshell nails are caused by a deficiency of essential vitamins and nutrients in the nails matrix. Vitamin supplements and proper nutrition will help the nail to grow healthier.
