Nails are made of keratin, a protein, and do not have a complex internal structure, so they could be considered homogeneous in terms of their composition. However, nails do have different layers (cuticle, nail plate, nail bed) and can vary in terms of thickness, shape, and color, so they have some heterogeneity in their physical properties and appearance.
