Wikipedia
fingernail
A nail is a claw-like plate found at the tip of the fingers and toes on most primates. Nails correspond to the claws found in other animals. Fingernails and toenails are made of a tough protective protein called alpha-keratin, which is a polymer. Alpha-keratin is found in the hooves, claws, and horns of vertebrates.

A fingernail is a thin, hard, translucent covering on the upper surface of the end of a finger. It is comprised of keratin, a type of protein, and is produced by living skin cells in the finger.
