Your nails come from nail bed. Nails are connected to the skin below. The trauma to the nails is borne by large surface area. This gives very strong support to nails to withstand the applied force on the nails. Nails of some animals are very strong as a result.

They aren't made up of any tissue really, because the nails are not composed of cells, but of a protein called keratin (horn).

The tissue that can be found on your finger is skin tissue, otherwise known as epithelium tissue. Epithelium tissue covers the entire body.
