Yes, a nail in Styrofoam could work as a Cartesian diver, provided that the total density of the diver assembly (nail plus Styrofoam) is less than that of the fluid it's in. When you squeeze the container, the increased pressure compresses the air in the Styrofoam, making the diver denser and causing it to sink. Releasing the pressure allows the air to expand, decreasing the density and causing the diver to rise.

What is a nail bed?

The nail bed is part of the nail matrix called the sterile matrix. It extends from the edge of the germinal matrix, or lunula, to the hyponychium. The nail bed contains the blood vessels, nerves, and melanocytes, or melanin-producing cells. As the nail is produced by the root, it streams down along the nail bed, which adds material to the undersurface of the nail making it thicker. It is important for normal nail growth that the nail bed be smooth. If it is not, the nail may split or develop grooves that can be cosmetically unappealing.
