Human beings tend to be born with a nail on each finger and toe. But it's possible that one may be born without a nail or nails due to genetics or something that happens during the mother's pregnancy. Also, once born, accident, illness or injury may cause nails to fall off, and sometimes not to grow back.

How do you get longer fingers?

There isnt really a big way to get longer fingers, but try pulling them hard a few times a day. To make the illusion of having longer fingers, bend them slightly at the knuckles, and keep your nails a tad bit shorter if you have long nails, and if you bite your nails, grow them longer. Having nails about as long as your fingers at a rounded shape and not polishing them with extremely bright colors works well at giving the illusion of longer fingers. Crack your knucles and pull each finger often to grow fingers. Hope this helps! ;)
