Fingernails do not grow directly from the lunula, but the lunula is a visible part of the nail matrix, where nail growth begins. The nail matrix, located beneath the cuticle, produces new cells that harden and form the nail as they push older cells forward. The lunula is the white, crescent-shaped area at the base of the nail but does not itself generate nail growth.

I know for a fact that my toenails grow faster, but I have no idea why. I wish my fingernails would grow as fast as my toenails!

That's why it seems to some people that their toenails are growing faster than their fingernails; Fingernails are more susceptible to breakage because they are thinner.
