 Basic Information About the Nail

The nail is a plate of keratin that lies on the tips

of the fingers and toes.
The main use of the nail is to protect the fingers
and toes.
It also assists with certain physical activities in
daily life.
Nail and its structure

1. Uvula ̶the pearly coloured and crescent-shaped area of a

fingernail or toenail.
2. Cuticle ̶ the overlapping epidermis around the nail. It is the
transparent skin, which is called the 'true cuticle' which is
removed during the manicuring process.
3. Free edge ̶the part of the nail that can be filed and shaped. It
is an extension of the nail plate that overlaps the
eponychium.
4. Matrix ̶ the part of the nail situated directly beneath the
cuticle. It produces the cells that become the nail plate. It
also contains blood vessels and nerves. Blood supply
provides the cells with nourishment. If the matrix is
damaged the nail will grow deformed.
5. Nail bed ̶the part of the nail where the nail plate rests on,
also a continuation of the matrix and it is abundantly
supplied with blood vessels and nerves
6. Nail walls ̶the folds of the skin that overlap the sides of the
nail. They hold your nail in place and protect the nail plate
edges. 7. Nail plate ̶is the visible nail that rests on the nail
bed up to the free edge. This is made up of dead cells and
a minimum amount of moisture.
 Shapes of the Nail
The shape of nail conforms to the finger tips of an individual. It also determines how
the fingernails should be styled during a manicure.
1. Oval ̶ this is common among people with
long, perfect nail beds. It may be styled
slightly rounded at the base and slightly
pointed at the fingertips.
2. Round ̶ideal for shorter nails, the nail is
allowed to grow out straight at the sides for
approximately 1.5 mm and then the tip is
filed into a rounded shape.
3. Stiletto/pointed ̶filed away at the sides to a
point at the tip; this shape is very weak as
the sides of the nail (which provide the
strength) are totally lost.
4. Squoval ̶Similar to the above but followed by
squaring off the tip, giving the nail tip
strength over the oval shape.
5. Square ̶The most popular among the nail
shapes. It is created by allowing the nail to
grow out straight and then filing the tip
straight across at right angles with the rest of
the nail plate
