Lesson 1: Nail anatomy ✨🔗

In this diagram you have all the elements of the nail. 

• Nail Plate: Keratinized layers; visible protective shield.

• Matrix: Growth engine (produces nail cells); trauma causes ridges/Beau’s lines.

• Nail Bed: Vascularized skin supporting the plate; discoloration signals issues.

• Cuticle (Eponychium): Barrier against infections.

• Lunula: Visible matrix tip; pale due to packed keratinocytes.

• Hyponychium: Seal under free edge; prevents debris/bacterial entry. This is the peace of skin behind the nail plate, its not visible in this diagram. It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world.
